    Toyama Pref. Toyamashi Furusawa 254
    The Toyama Municipal Family Park is surrounded by nature and rich verdure, and makes fun for the whole family with its focus on animals, mountain villages, and local community. Divided into three sections—an animal corner, a large lawn, a section with amusement park rides—it makes for a great time with nature or a barbeque. With many events such as the night zoo, you can interact with animals in a variety of ways, and see them in a more natural state. 10 minutes by car via Kosugi Interchange, a Hokuriku Expressway.

    Enjoy the lovely gardens! Have a BBQ - bring your own or be fully catered for! Great place for kids to safely play! Fun playgrounds!

    Toyama Pref. Takaokashi Kojou 1-6 (inside Takaoka Kojo Park)
    This zoo, which opened in April 1951, is located inside of Takaoka Kojo Park. Starting in 1978, the zoo built a new natural history museum and conducted extensive renovations of its animal enclosures and facilities as part of a three-year plan before reopening in April 1981. The zoo cares for and exhibits 135 individual animals belonging to 40 species with a focus on Japanese macaques, American miniature horses, flamingos, and Humboldt penguins. From April to November, the zoo also operates a petting zoo with rabbits and Guinea pigs.

    高岡城址公園にある小さな動物園。すごい動物はいないが、小さな子供連れなら十分楽しめる。職員の手作りの動物の説明がかわいく、けっこう人気を呼んだとか。無料だけど、けっこう運営は厳しいのだろう。頑張ってね。

Toyama Areas

Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
