No.1 Toyama

 We talk about Toyama’s “No.1”. I think you don’t know the Toyama’s best of points in Japan in some genre.
First, about “Nature”. Toyama is the best place that people can look at a mirage (Shinkiro: 蜃気楼). There is a source of hot spring (a Jigokudani-spring) . This is the tallest source of hot spring in Japan.
Second, about “Life environment”. The rate of house ownership is the best in Japan(79.1%) ,and an area of house per one family is the largest n Japan.
Third, about “Industry”. The product of medicines putted is the best.
There are more No.1 things. Of course you don’t know, but I also don’t know any things!!

Tenjin-sama 2

I will talk about the further installment.
We put Tenjin-sama in 25, December―25, January. During this term, we wish the son’s growth. This hope mainly is study, but not only study but also an accomplishment, playing the piano, playing sports, penmanship etc.
 We decollate it with other things. These are a Kagami-nochi, a Bonbori(a light),a Omiki Etc… These are things for giving Tenjin-sama.


Tenjin-sama is put with a mirror-shaped rice cake, a paper-covered lamp stand and a sake bottle. We put it at a Japanese style room.

The famous shrine which Michizane is worshiped is Dazaifu-Tenmangu. I think that there are many people have its good-luck charm.(This is a good-luck charm of study.)
In Toyama, there is the shrine which Michizane is worshiped. People go to the shrine when they take an examination.
Tenjin-sama is decollated in only Toyama (and one area of Fukui), but most of people in Toyama think that there is all over the country.! So, decollating it is normal thing!!
