Toyama Castle

Reviewed By JutkaG5 - Budapest, Hungary

A place to relax, to enjoy hanami. Everything was renovated in Toyama in the last decades. I think due to the shinkansen wich runs to Kanazawa it came a lot of money in the city. The nearby onsens are worth to visit too and the Tateyama mountins.

2. Takaoka Castle Ruins

Takaoka Castle Ruins

Reviewed By NigelG407 - Singapore, Singapore

Once a grand castle that served the Samurai of the Sengoku Period and now a beautiful landscaped Park. The park contains the Municipal Museum and the Imizu Shrine in addition to a park which delights any artists with its sculptures. Honmaru Hiroba - The Forest of the Arts which is in the ruins of Takaoka Castle is an Interesting place and the residence at one time of Toshinaga Maeda - a Samurai from the Segoku Period. His time there was but a few years at the end of his reign. He was once a mighty samurai, but became depressed and withdrew from public life due to complications of syphilis and committed suicide on 27 June, 1614 aged 52. His magnificent equestrian statue is the largest in the garden, and throughout the garden one can see many sculptures from various 20th Century Japanese artists, on more joyous subjects. ‘Hen houses in the morning ‘ by Tadao Koga was my favourite. All had their own appeal and show immense artistry. It was a joy to walk about. The sky was blue and the sun was high, notwithstanding the temperature was 6 degrees! An ornithologists delight to for there are all kinds of birds and waterfowl to be seen in the moats. There is a children’s playground to keep them amused. Beautiful bridges the reflect in the water. A great place to stroll.
