Q: What are the top tourist attractions in Toyama?

Toyama Castle Park: Walk the moats and stone walls of Toyama Castle to ground your visit in the city’s samurai past. Enter the small history museum and climb to an easy view over the park. Toyama Glass Art Museum: Explore the city’s glass legacy in dramatic galleries. Ride the lift to see swirling installations and browse the airy city library housed in the same building. Fugan Unga Kansui Park: Unwind on the canal where locals stroll and cycle. Cross Tenmon-kyo Bridge, take a short boat ride, and grab a coffee at the glass-walled café with mountain views on clear days. Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route: Ride this high-alpine traverse for scenery you won’t find in the lowlands. In spring, walk between towering snow walls; in summer and autumn, circle Mikurigaike Pond and gaze over Kurobe Dam. Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art and Design (TAD): Visit to pair big-name art with playful design. Check the rooftop for the sculpture playground and look across to the Tateyama peaks when the air is clear.

Question 3

Is Toyama walkable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The area around Toyama Station, Toyama Castle Park, the Glass Art Museum, and Kansui Park is flat and easy to walk.

The Centram city loop tram circles key sights downtown, while the Portram runs from Toyama Station to Iwasehama and the port. For the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, take the Toyama Chihō Railway from Dentetsu-Toyama to Tateyama. If you want a relaxed day with pickups and stops, a private tour in Toyama with private transportation is a good fit.
