- Toyama Takaoka-shi
- "This bridge was named after the verse in Shijing, the oldest Chinese poetry book, with the meaning ""The phoenix cries out, here is the high hill (Takaoka) it calls home."" It crosses the Senbo River, which flows near Kanaya-machi, the heart of Takaoka's metal casting industry. There are two phoenix statues made by Naoki Tominaga to the left and right of the bridge. Takaoka City became a metal-casting center in 1609, when Maeda Toshinaga invited seven metal casters here to build casting workshops and help bolster the castle town's economy."

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.
