Japan Offbeat|Surrounded by mountains and sea, a guide to the sunny coastal route

|Surrounded by mountains and sea, a guide to the sunny coastal route. Japan Offbeat|Surrounded by mountains and sea, a guide to the sunny coastal route. A few years ago, I was attracted by a photo: towering snow-capped mountains, azure sea, and a rock standing alone in the sea. The red train travels along the sea, the whole atmosphere is too beautiful. The sunny coast can see the Tateyama Kurobe Snow Mountain Range across Toyama Bay, which is called the Northern Alps of Japan. To see the stunning scenery in the promotional photos, not only do you need to choose the right season, but also encounter good weather. I went in the early morning of early November, the sun was quite strong, the snow mountain was not very obvious, but it was very comfortable to walk by the sea~ Transportation route: JR Himi Line: Takaoka-Amefuri about half an hour Hokuriku Shinkansen Shin-Takaoka Station takes the Jōtetsu Line to Takaoka Station; Kanazawa Station/Toyama Station takes the IR Ishikawa Railway·Ainokaze Toyama Railway to Takaoka Station, then transfer to the Himi Line to Amefuri Station Tips: The departure interval of the Himi Line is relatively long, about one hour, remember to check the round-trip train times Amefuri Station is very small, only cash tickets can be bought, Takayama Hokuriku JRpass Himi Line is not available Tour direction (map in the last one): If you want to go to the coastal trail, turn right out of the station, walk for about 5 minutes, turn right through the railway to reach If you want to go to Onna Rock for photo viewing, turn left out of the station, you can see Michi no Eki in about 5 minutes, above is the viewing position Onna Rock Walking to the sea, the first thing you see is Onna Rock standing in the sea. The rock has elegant green pines and always appears as the foreground of the mountains and seas in various photographic works Tateyama Peaks The 3000-meter-high Tateyama Peaks form the background of Amefuri. In winter, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, forming a beautiful landscape painting with the blue of the sea. Seaside Train The Himi Line runs along the coast, and the red train adds dynamics to the composition of the coastal snow mountain. Whether you are watching from the viewing platform or looking out the window on the train, the scenery is beautiful. But not every train is red, the train interval timetable can be seen inside the station Michi no Eki Amefuri There is a white building on the opposite side of the coast. The 2nd and 3rd floors are outdoor viewing platforms. This is a great place to shoot a small train. There is a cafe and a lot of Doraemon peripherals inside. Sitting in front of the clean floor-to-ceiling windows and having a cup of coffee is really comfortable~ The coast is beautiful all year round, and the snow scene in winter is even more beautiful. The snow period of Tateyama Peaks is from October to June of the following year. Only when the weather is good enough can you see such a stunning view. It is recommended to go in the afternoon, the sun is not so strong, and the light and shadow of the sunset will be very good

Japanese niche coast · Amagihama coast

The Rainy and Clear Coast is really beautiful. Another year of red leaves season, I just want to go to Kanazawa Fushimi to enjoy the maple leaves. At that time, I saw a photo of Yuqing Coast on 🍠 and suddenly wanted to go there. When I saw the coastline from the tram, I was instantly amazed. It was really beautiful, and there weren't many people compared to Kyoto's autumn leaves viewing and Kamakura's beach. Really, really love Rainy Coast. At that time, I hated myself for not knowing how to take photos and not having a telephoto lens to take beautiful pictures. 🚃Transportation Take the Aizuwakamatsu Railway from Toyama Station to Takayama, transfer to the Hida Line and go to Ame-no-Kogen Station.

Yuqing Coast is a famous attraction in Toyama Prefecture. When the weather is good, you can see the peak of Tateyama in the back of Toyama Bay. The weather forecast was heavy rain. I didn't want to go to the Yuqing coast. I didn't expect to get off the bus when I got off the bus. I just couldn't see the place where Lishan Lianfeng ~ nearby dining. There are not too many places near Yijingyan. The station of the road with observation deck and souvenir shop "Yue Qing". In the cafe on the second floor, it is especially recommended for summer seasons. Only 30 servings of plums, cold meat and ice are seen in Udon. The udon noodles are very tough, with sour plums and thin slices of meat, which are especially refreshing in summer.

The Great Buddha of Takaoka

The Great Buddha of Takaoka, located in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, is said to be one of Japan’s three largest Buddhas, along with the Todaiji Temple’s Great Buddha of Nara, and the Great Buddha of Kamakura in Kanagawa Prefecture. It was completed in 1907 after 26 years of work, and is dubbed “The most beautiful man in Japan” because of its excellent workmanship. This is a must-see in Toyama. In 2024, I want to go to Shizuoka to see the hanging bridge. #2024wish

Japan Hokuriku Deep Tour - Searching for Doraemon's Hometown in Takayama City

Takaoka is a very small city in Japan. My wife and I traveled to Kansai and Hokuriku for a month this time. We came to Takaoka mainly to visit the exhibition hall of Fujiko F. Fujio and reminisce about our favorite childhood cartoon, Doraemon. Stayed at a hotel next to the station and started walking slowly around the city in the morning. First went to the Gao Tang Buddha, then to the Ancient City Park. Surprisingly, the Ancient City Park is a free park with a free zoo inside. The Ancient City Park in mid-November is even more stunning, as the plants by the pond color the entire pond, and any photo taken with a mobile phone is a salon masterpiece. Spent the morning playing in the park, had lunch and then went to the Fujiko F. Fujio Museum, and finally checked in at the Doraemon Park. Today we were lucky enough to see the famous Tateyama mountain range in the distance all day long. Managed to visit all the attractions just before it got dark. So happy!

A temple in Takaoka

This is Zuiryuji Temple. This famous Soto-school Zen temple was built by Maeda Toshitsune, the third lord of the Kaga Maeda han. The name is said to derive from the posthumous Buddhist name of Maeda Toshinaga, which was Zuiryu-in. The main gate, main hall, and Dharma hall stand in a line, and the temple buildings are laid out symmetrically left and right, interconnected by roofed passageways in a beautiful and powerful sight. Construction took about 20 years to complete. The temple complex was originally surrounded by a moat, like a castle. The buildings toward the front were destroyed by fire in the mid-18th century, and the main gate rebuilt about 70 years later. In the late Showa era the temple underwent extensive repair over a ten-year span, and in 1997 the main gate, main hall, and Dharma hall were designated national architectural treasures. In 2024, I want to go to Takayama. #2024wish

There are many small cities in Toyama Bay that are less beautiful and have spirituality. As the hometown of Fujiko Fujio, Takaoka knows that it is defined as the city of Dangdang Cat. I dont know that there are many ancient treasures in this country. About 15 minutes walk from the new Takaoka Station, you can see the Ruilong Temple built more than 350 years ago. It is said that this temple took 20 years to build, was created by the third generation of Takaoka Castle, Maeda, and was designated as the national treasure of Japan in 1997. The majestic Jialan pattern of Ruilong Temple is magnificent and elegant. It has a sense of beauty among the lush lawns. It is a typical building in the early Edo period, and it also shows the momentum of the 120-year-old stone power of Kaga! There are basically no foreign tourists here. If you want to avoid the crowds of tourists, Gaogang is a good choice.

Fujiko F. Fujio Museum

#2024wish If you love Doraemon comics, cartoon or films, it is the place you need to go. Booking the entrance via Loppi machine in Lawson convenient stores is the general way to get the tickets easily. Then just take the JR train to Noborito station and have the transit with the bus to museum directly. The museum is not wide or spacious so that driving your cars is not recommended since it is hard to find the parking lots. Public transportation is the workable option for the tourists here. No photo shooting is allowed indoors. However, there are lots of famous icons outdoors for photo taken. You can enjoy the imagination and the creative decoration with kids and understand the original concept of Doraemon here. Since the museum is not big, it is more crowded in the afternoon. You may come here earlier in order to enjoy the interior facilities. Enjoy! In 2024, I wan to visit this place again.

Takaoka Castle Ruins

#thingstodo This is a great destination for flower lovers when they're in season. In addition to its famous cherry blossoms, it has heritage plum trees with a variety of different colors of blossom. It's also family friendly with a zoo and spacious park grounds. There are a variety of full facilities, including some excellent restaurants. Do keep in mind that it's nationally famous and so can become incredibly crowded during it's busy seasons.
