富山市民俗民芸村

Toyama Folkcraft Village set in the forested hills of Mount Kureha above Toyama City is certainly worth a peek if you are in the area or visiting Toyama on a day trip from Takayama.



Easy to get to on the free tourist shuttle or city bus, the Toyama Folkcraft Village, contains several museums dedicated to Toyama Prefecture's arts and crafts: particularly glass and medicines for which the area is well-known. There are also museums of local history and art plus an elegant tea ceremony room and a reference library.



The Folkcraft Museum is very near to Chokeiji Temple and its 500 statues of rakan - enlightened Buddhist adepts.
