Toyama
Japan’s Hidden Gem of Craft, Nature & Sushi
About
Just two hours from Tokyo, Toyama Prefecture sits along the Sea of Japan coast, where dramatic mountains meet UNESCO-listed villages. The Gokayama region’s thatched-roof farmhouses and artisan towns like Takaoka and Inami showcase centuries-old crafts. Toyama Bay is celebrated across Japan for its incredibly fresh seafood, from yellowtail and firefly squid to snow crab and white shrimp. Sampling sushi made from Toyama Bay’s bounty is a must on any Japan itinerary. Toyama blends stunning nature, centuries-old craftsmanship, and unforgettable culinary experiences away from the crowds.
