Fushiki
FushikiWhat is Fushiki like?
The Fushiki region of Takaoka City is called the home of
the Man'yō, as it is home to the Man'yōshū (Collection of
Myriad Leaves), Japan's oldest anthology of poems. Its
main author and compiler, the Man'yō poet Ōtomo no
Yakamochi, was assigned to this area as the governor in
the Nara period. Inspired by the beautiful landscape,Yakamochi composed most of his poems while living here.
Yakamochi composed poems on the coastline with uniquerocks, white sands, and green pines against themagniﬁcent Tateyama mountain range soaring highabove the sea. These breathtaking views continue tocaptivate people today. Today, the National Treasure of
Shōkōji Temple lies in what is considered the ruins of theEtchū government, and it played a leading role in the Ikkō
Ikki rebellion movement. During the Edo Period, the temple
came under the protection of the Maede family, acting as
a liaison between oﬃcials and the Etchū Shin Buddhism
temples. The Shōkōji temple has prospered throughout
modern times, and its National Treasure designations andtemple precincts, which remain intact as they were in thelate Edo period, are a sight to behold. Prospering sinceancient times as a great port with nature, Fushiki
ﬂourished as a port for Kitamaebune ships in the latter
half of the Edo Period. In the Meiji Period (1868‒1912), it
was the ﬁrst Japanese port facing the Sea of Japan tobuild a western-style lighthouse and weather station andwas one of the ﬁrst ports to promote modernization.
Fushiki has thrived as one of the best trading ports along
the Sea of Japan and is known for its beautiful nature, richhistory and culture, and port town traditions passed downover generations. Take a relaxing walk and discover the
charms of Fushiki!
