    Toyama Nakaniikawa-gun Kamiichimachi Oiwa 11

    立山で高速を降りて山側へ車で10-15分登って行った所にありました。 普段は凄く混み合うらしいですが、 早い時間だったのですぐに座れそうめんを頼むと3分程で着丼。 食べるの勿体ないくらい綺麗なそうめん。 すっきり美味しいそうめんでした。

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.
