Hi, I’m Tabi!

Takaoka, in Toyama, combines temple architecture and historic merchant streets. The temple south of the station and old streets to the north are separate areas; start with one.

This guide covers places within Takaoka, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

Zuiryuji Temple

瑞龍寺

Explore the gate, Buddha hall and corridors of this Zen temple associated with Maeda Toshinaga. Its orderly layout is part of the experience. Respect worship and photography notices, and check construction areas locally.

Getting there
Check the approach from Takaoka Station or Zuiryuji-guchi bus stop.

02

A first-visit stop

Yamachosuji

山町筋

A historic merchant street preserves buildings with earthen storehouse-style walls. Enjoy their exteriors while respecting residents and traffic. Enter individual buildings only after checking public access.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association introduces Takaoka croquettes as an everyday local favorite. Fillings and preparation vary, so check ingredients and allergies when choosing a small bite. No restaurant or current menu is endorsed.
