Cultural Highlights of Toyama

Toyama’s cultural landscape features the UNESCO-listed gassho-zukuri farmhouses of Ainokura and Suganuma, which illustrate centuries of high-altitude architectural adaptation. The region is a center for craftsmanship, including the 250-year-old woodcarving traditions of Inami and contemporary glass art housed in the Kengo Kuma-designed Toyama Glass Art Museum. Historical preservation continues at Toyama Castle’s folk museum and the Suiboku Museum, while the Tateyama Caldera Sabo Museum documents the area's geological history and engineering heritage.
