  • Toyama Port Observation Tower

    Toyama Pref. Toyamashi Higashiwasemachi Coastal street 5
    As the name suggests, this free observation deck offers views of Toyama Port. Visitors can look down on the good old townscape of Iwase from 20 meters up. On clear days, you can see the Toyama Bay as well as the Noto Peninsula and the Tateyama Mountain Range. The views are so good, you may end up staying longer than you intended, which may be the secret to the tower's popularity. The unique exterior design, reminiscent of a stone garden lantern, was modeled after the lighthouse that helped guide ships in the port during northbound ships sailing. Embued with a sincere wish for safe shipping and the prosperity of the port, the tower continues to watch over Toyama Port, a key port for trade throughout the Sea of Japan.

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.
