About This Tour
Framed by the majestic Northern Alps, Toyama City is a hidden gem that seamlessly blends natural beauty with a rich cultural heritage. Toyama boasts a fascinating history as a center of medicine and trade. Known for its pristine water and spectacular mountain views, the city offers visitors a unique charm that sets it apart. Toyama Castle, a symbol of the city’s samurai past, stands as a testament to its feudal heritage. Nearby, the historic Ikedaya Medicine Shop provides a glimpse into the city’s legacy as a hub for traditional medicine. The tour then takes you to Ecchu Yatsuo, a picturesque town renowned for its cobblestone streets and the lively Owara Kaze no Bon festival, offering an enchanting window into local traditions.
