Tateyama Museum of Toyama

The Tateyama Museum features exhibits about local flora, fauna, geology, and mountain artifacts across three distinct floors within a modern building.

The museum opened in 1991 as part of an initiative to revitalize the Tateyama Fudoki-no-oka complex, which initially started operations in 1972.

The second floor contains numerous artifacts connected to Shugendo Mountain Religion, including different versions of the Tateyama Mandara and spiritual objects.

Visitors can reach the museum via the Dentetsu train to Chigaki station, followed by a local bus service or a 2-kilometer walk through marked paths.

The facility houses a dome-shaped cinema that presents time-lapse photography of regional nature, concluding with a reveal of the sacred mountain.
