  • Shinminato-ohashi Bridge
    Travel / Tourism
    Toyama Pref. Imizushi Honmachi 2-10-30
    The largest cable-stayed bridge in the Japan Sea region, the Shinminato-ohashi Bridge links the east and west coasts of Toyama Shinko port in Imizu City, Toyama Prefecture. It is 3.6 kilometers long, with the main section suspended over the sea coming in at 600 meters and the main tower 127 meters tall. The contrast between the blue sea and white tower is splendid, as is the view of the sprawling Japan Sea, the Tateyama mountain range, and the Noto Peninsula from the elevated road and the walkway on the lower level.
  • Sankyoson Observatory
    Travel / Tourism
    Toyama Pref. Tonamishi Gotani 160
    "This observation deck a 20-minute drive from Hokuriku Expressway's Tonami Interchange offers a view of the settlements scattered across the Tonami plains. From there, you can also see as far as Toyama Bay and the Sea of Japan. In summer, your view of the land below will be filled with verdant rice paddies. The beautiful moonlit night scenery is also a must-see. The observatory, which sits at an altitude of some 400 meters, is also popular for its nighttime views due to the nearly 180 degree field of view. It has also been designated as one of Toyama prefecture's best ""hometown views."" "
  • Komaki Dam
    Travel / Tourism
    Toyama Pref. Tonamishi Shougawamachiomaki
    "This hydroelectric power dam a 20-minute drive from Tonami Interchange was finished in 1930. Its beautiful radial gates earned it the nickname of ""the number one dam of the orient"" at the time. The dam's stately appearance has remained the same for more than 80 years. In 2002, it was registered as a National Cultural Property. A sightseeing boat that offers views of the Shogawa River ravine operates out of Komaki Port on the lake's shore. Passengers can enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the lake's emerald surface."

  • Scattered Village Viewing Plaza
    Travel / Tourism
    Toyama Tonami-shi Gotani 160
    This facility offers a view of the dispersed settlements of the Tonami plain. The parking is close by, and there are no stairs to climb, so it's easy to access for all ages. The sunset is particularly beautiful, and in the rice planting season the sunset reflected on the water-filled paddies is stunning. From early December through mid-April, the roads are often closed due to snow so take care.

Toyama Areas

around-area-map

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.
