Toyama Pref. Nakanikawagunkamichimachi Oiwa 163

"This temple, a 15-minute drive from Hokuriku Expressway's Tachikawa Interchange, was built by Gyoki in 725. Part of the Tateyama mountain worship faith, it had become a large, well-known temple with 21 shrines and 60 monks by its peak. The temple declined after being set ablaze by Uesugi forces and losing many of its treasures and records to the fire. However, the temple hall was later rebuilt and served as the as the family temple for many generations of the Maeda Clan. The temple grounds contain a great deal of sights to see. These include Buddhist carvings and statues such as the Oiwa Nissekiji Sekibutsu, a nationally designated historic site, and the Oiwa Nissekiji Magaibutsu, an important cultural property. The temple, which venerates Fudo Myoo as the main object of worship, is beloved by the nickname ""Oiwasan no Ofudosan."" "

３つある雄山神社の奥宮は立山の頂上なのでおいそれと行くことができない。ということで、奥宮にはいつか行くことを夢見つつ、先に前立社壇と中宮に参詣した。前立社壇は富山地方鉄道の鉄橋のすぐ横の踏切を渡って行くが、鉄橋を横から見ることもなかなかないので、まずこれが興味深かった。鉄橋を渡るとすぐに鳥居、その左側に駐車場がある。手水舎から門をくぐると…社殿が正面ではなく左面にある。この作りはあまりみないかも...

Shomyo Falls

Travel / Tourism

Toyama Pref. Nakanikawaguntateyamamachi Ashikuraji

With water crashing down from a height of 350 meters and sending up a mass of spray, Shomyo Falls—the highest waterfall in Japan—is an impressive sight. When the flow of water in the rivers increases, another waterfall (Hannoki Falls) appears to the right of Shomyo Falls, and when the flow is really high several other, smaller waterfalls also appear nearby, which makes for a truly amazing spectacle. Hannoki Falls can only be seen in spring, when the snow-melt from the Tateyama mountain range leads to an increased flow of water.

Tateyama Murodo

Toyama Nakaniikawa-gun Tateyamamachi Ashikuraji Division Dodaira

A murodo is a hall where mountain ascetics stay and pray. This murodo located along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is said to be the oldest mountain hut in Japan. It was actually used as a base for climbing Mt. Tateyama, Mt. Tsurugi, and other mountains in the area as late as the 1980s. An archeological excavation conducted when the building was disassembled for repairs discovered evidence of its role as place of worship from around the 12th, confirming that it has been in use since the Kamakura Period. The current building is a reconstruction built in 1726 and has been designated as a National Important Cultural Asset. It was built using wood from the virgin forests of Bijodaira. How the wood was carried here is still wrapped in mystery.

Toyama Pref. Nakanikawaguntateyamamachi Ashikuraji Muro

In winter when the road around Murodo Terminal is cleared, walls of snow on either side are created. The 500-meter continuous stretch of snow walls has come to be called the Snow Corridor. The huge walls of snow reach close to 20 meters high and are slowly carved out by bulldozers over around a month-long period. During the Tateyama Kurobe Snow Corridor Walk held each year only from mid-April to late June, many tourists come here from across the country and even the world to see and touch these stunning walls of snow up close.
