- Kurobe Gorge
- Travel / Tourism
- Toyama Pref. Kurobeshi Unadukimachifunami Tomorrow Mr. Asoawa
- Japan’s deepest V-shaped gorge, Kurobe Gorge divides the northern Hida Mountains into the Tateyama Mountains and the Ushiro-tateyama Mountains, and awes people all year round. You can enjoy an electric trolley ride weaving through the 20.1 kilometers of the gorge, a 1-hour 20-minute ride. The hidden areas accessible only through electric trolley are—simply put—astounding.

- Sarutobi Gorge
- Travel / Tourism
- Kurobe Canyon, Kurobe-shi, Toyama Prefecture
- "This is one of the areas accessible to travelers on the upper reaches of the Kurobe Gorge in Toyama Prefecture. It got the name ""Sarutobi"" from the parts of the gorge that are so narrow that wild monkeys can leap across with ease. A walkway runs to the Sarutobikyo Observatory from Keyakidaira Station, the final stop on the Torokko Electric Railway that passes along the Kurobe Gorge. The tourist season gets busy with hikers who come to see the many highlights like the red arch bridge along the way. "

- Miyazaki-Sakai Beach (Jade Beach)
- Travel / Tourism
- Toyama Pref. Shimonikawagunasahimachi Miyazaki And border
- Located a one minute-walk from Ainokaze Toyama Railway's Etchu-Miyazaki Station, this beach with beautiful gravel that stretches for approximately four kilometers east and west is where jadestones wash onto shore. It has been chosen by the Ministry of the Environment as one of Japan's Top 100 Beaches and Japan's Top 100 Finest Beaches. Many people come not only for the beach in the summer, but also to look for valuable jadestones. The views from the beach of the beautiful sun setting into the ocean at dusk have made it famous. The cod soup served at eateries near the beach is also well-known. Originally eaten among fishermen, it is not loved by ordinary people as a local cuisine.

- Located a five-minute walk from the final stop on the Kurobe Gorge Railway, Keyakidaira Station, this walkway is carved into the cliff face of Mt. Okukane.

The powerful sight has earned it lasting popularity as a photo spot.

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.
