Takaoka City Manyo Historical Museum (高岡市万葉歴史館)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A historical museum standing in Takaoka (高岡), where Otomo no Yakamochi (大伴家持), a poet of the Manyoshu (万葉集), was posted as provincial governor. The exhibits center on introducing the world of the Manyoshu and life at the time in an easy-to-understand way through video and models, designed so that even children who dislike history can learn while enjoying themselves. The interior is air-conditioned, making it valuable as a place to take a breather during the hot hours of summer. Between sea bathing, get in touch with the history and culture of Toyama (富山).

It is about 15 minutes by car from Amaharashi Roadside Station (道の駅雨晴). Photography is limited to certain areas inside, so check the signage as you look around. The interior is spacious and built to be easy to tour with a stroller.

Best time to visit

About 45 minutes. The morning is relatively empty and lets you look around at a leisurely pace
