Toyama Essentials

Toyama features a landscape that transitions from the 3,000-meter peaks of the Northern Alps to the deep waters of Toyama Bay. This selection includes the UNESCO-listed gassho-zukuri farmhouses of Gokayama and the engineering feat of Kurobe Dam, Japan's tallest dam. Cultural highlights range from the Zen architecture of Zuiryū-ji and the bronze craftsmanship of Takaoka's Great Buddha to the contemporary glass art housed in the Kengo Kuma-designed Toyama Kirari building.
