    Tonami Tulip Park is a park located on National Route 359 in Hanazono Town, Tonami City. Around three million tulips of 700 different varieties are grown here each year; the Tonami Tulip Fair, which is held in spring each year, is a major attraction. Interesting sights inside the Park include the Tulip Tower, which has become a symbol of the Park, the Tulip Gallery, where visitors can view displays about tulips, etc., and the Waterwheel Garden, which features the five largest waterwheels in Japan.

    I have no doubt that when you come here during the festival seasons this park is amazing,l and it still is however I didnt see any tulips in the park itself. Loads of other flowers but no tulips...

    This hot springs spa adjacent to the roadside station Kamonpa-Ku Shinminato is a 20 -minute bus ride from JR Kosugi Station via the Kitokito Bus (Imizu City Community Bus) Shinminato-Kosugi Line.

The spa's 50 degree centigrade hot spring water, sourced from 1,200 meters below ground, has unusually high hypertonicity, meaning it is easily absorbed by the body. It warms the body to the core and is believed to help with nerve pain, poor blood circulation, and chronic women's diseases. The spa's restaurant features relaxed tatami-style seating. Its zarusoba (chilled soba noodles served on a bamboo strainer) and soy milk soft-serve ice cream are popular choices. The spa also offers packages for girls' nights out that allow you to enjoy the hot springs without having to bring anything.

    "This bay is located in southern northern area of the Hokuriku region. The largest open sea-inner bay on the Sea of Japan, it is famous for the abundance of fish and its mirages. You can see the majestic landscape of the 3,000 meter-high Tateyama Mountain Range from the bay. Arisomi, one of the settings of ""Oku no Hosomichi"" (The Narrow Road to the Deep North), has been designated as one of Japan's most scenic spots. In addition, the submarine canyon called Aigame where the water suddenly becomes deep is the perfect home for fish. Various fish can be caught because of the warm and cold currents that flow into Toyama Bay, uniquely allowing you to get fresh tastes of firefly squid that flock around the coast while emitting a pale blue light, and translucent glass shrimp."

    This day bathing hot springs facility is a 15-minute drive from Hokuriku Expressway Kosugi Interchange. The facility uses two types of bath water; natural hot spring water from 1,200 meters underground and high-concentration artificial carbonated baths. The high-concentration carbonated spring water warms the body to the core, and the carbonation directly stimulates the autonomic nerves, giving it great relaxation effects. It also helps improve blood flow, which can reduce sensitivity to cold and give you beautiful skin. The facility also offers a number of popular services including body and foot care (massage, etc.) and salon treatments.

Ishikuro Nobuyoshi and Ishiguro Munemaro are each connected to the current Imizu city's Takaki and Kuguminato areas, respectively. It is a place that explains difficult and deep topics in a fun and easy way.

    道の駅新湊と隣接した施設です。富山らしく、施設は非常に立派ですが、博物館というよりは郷土資料館と言った感じ。となりの高岡は奈良時代、そして江戸時代以降の栄えた記録が多いですが、新湊は、鎌倉時代後期に放生津が栄えていたようで、その頃のことを知る事が出来ました。また、測量で功を挙げた石黒信由にまつわる資料も多く展示してあります。全国的には全く知らない事ばかりなので、興味のある方は楽しめると思います。

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.
