*It seems that Toyama Light Rail was absorbed and merged into Toyama Chihō Railway in 2020. A viewer pointed this out to me. Thank you!

The American newspaper "The New York Times" announced its "52 Places to Visit in 2025," and Toyama was among them!

So, this time, I took a whirlwind trip to Toyama Prefecture.

I'll introduce the charms of Toyama, including "Himi," "Amaharashi Coast," "Fugan Canal Kansui Park," "The World's Most Beautiful Starbucks," "Toyama Castle," "Toyama City Hall Observation Tower," "Toyama Black Ramen," and "Toyama Light Rail."

A spectacular spot overlooking the Tateyama Mountain Range across Toyama Bay. On a sunny day, the beautiful contrast between the sea and mountains is sure to impress.


[Starbucks at Fugan Canal Kansui Park]
Famous as "the most beautiful Starbucks in the world." Its open waterside location and stylish building are its charm.


[Toyama Castle]
A historical spot remaining in the heart of the city. We strolled through the park, a relaxing space developed as a castle ruins park, while feeling the remnants of the past in the moat and stone walls.


[Toyama City Hall Observation Tower]
A hidden gem with a great night view. You can enjoy a panoramic view of Toyama city and the Tateyama mountain range for free.


[Toyama Black]
A local ramen characterized by its dark, soy sauce-based soup. Its punchy flavor is addictive.


[Toyama Light Rail]
A light rail transit (LRT) system running centered around Toyama Station. A means of transportation that allows you to experience Toyama's compact city layout.


We're sharing the charm of Toyama's sea, mountains, and city, so please watch until the end!
