History and Outline

Opened in November 1991. This museum was constructed in order to rebuild and stimulate “Tateyama Fudoki-no-oka of Toyama” which was opened in April 1972. This museum consists of “Tenji-kan” (exhibition hall) and “Yobo-kan”, and displays concerned with nature and the worship of Tateyama with the relationship between nature of Tateyama and people as its theme. This museum functions as a place to learn about the spirit fostered by Tateyama and think about living together with nature.
