Ishido - Isurugi

Japanese: 石動 - いするぎ

This is the central district of Oyabe City, Toyama Prefecture. It was formerly Isurugi Town. It is served by the Ainokaze Toyama Railway (formerly the JR Hokuriku Main Line), and national highways 8 and 471. After Imaisurugi Castle was abandoned, the Kaga Domain's magistrate's office was established here as it was an important location leading to Kanazawa, and it controlled Tonami and Himi. Located at the foot of Mount Tonami, it developed as a post town on the Hokuriku Road. There are many small businesses, and the town is known for its ceramics industries, producing rubber shoes, roofing tiles, and bricks. Kurikara Pass is an ancient battlefield between the Genpei War and the Taira War, and Shiroyama is known as a famous cherry blossom viewing spot.

富山県小矢部市(おやべし)の中心地区。旧石動町。あいの風とやま鉄道（旧、JR北陸本線）が通じ、国道8号、471号も走る。今石動(いまいするぎ)城廃城のあと、金沢に通ずる要地として加賀藩の奉行所(ぶぎょうしょ)が置かれ、礪波(となみ)、氷見(ひみ)を支配した。礪波山山麓(さんろく)に位置し、北陸道の宿場町として発達した。各種小企業多く、ゴム靴、瓦(かわら)、れんがの窯業が特色。倶利伽羅峠(くりからとうげ)は源平の古戦場、城山はサクラの名所として知られる。
