Two Historic Festivals

Held on May 1, the Mikurumayama Festival features a parade of resplendent floats as they are wheeled through Takaoka. The event is a feast for the eyes, as all seven magnificent floats, representing the flourishing prosperity of the townspeople, come together on this one day. On June 20, the Goinsai Festival, a tribute to the virtue of Lord Maeda Toshinaga, is held in Kanayamachi, and is preceded the night before by public performances of Yagaefu, a traditional dance representing the town's foundry workers.

Kokozan Zuiryūji, a National Treasure

Established as the family temple of Maeda Toshinaga, the second-generation head of the Kaga Maeda clan, Kokozan Zuiryūji overwhelms visitors with the beautiful layout of its buildings. In 1997, the Sanmon (Main Gate), Butsuden (Buddha Hall) and Hōdō (Lecture Hall) structures on the grounds of Zuiryūji were designated as　national treasures. To the residents of Takaoka, Zuiryūji is known familiarly as "Zuiryussan."
