The Toyama Port Line runs from Toyama Station to Iwasehama, the eastern area of Toyama Port.
Toyama is a stop on the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line connecting Tokyo with Fukui and Tsuruga. Toyama Station is the gateway to sightseeing in Toyama, but it is one of the places where you should not just change trains, but should take your time to stop by. We would like to introduce Toyama Station, which has many attractions, to you!

Means of transportation for sightseeing in Toyama

Toyama Prefecture has three Shinkansen stations: Kurobe Unazuki Onsen Station, Toyama Station, and Shin-Takaoka Station. This time, we will introduce Toyama Station, which takes about 2 hours from Tokyo. It is a spacious and very beautiful station. You can transfer from Tokyo to Takayama, to Himi, to Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, to Niigata from Kansai, and to many other places.
Various tram panels welcome you. Why not take a commemorative photo with your face in it to celebrate your trip?

Tram!

Toyama Station is served by streetcars. Convenient for sightseeing and touring around town! It is also very active as a local footstep! In 2020, direct north-south train service will begin, making it even easier to access. For example, a 30-minute ride from Toyama Station in the northern direction will take you to Iwase, a port town area that prospered as a trading center for Kitamaeisen boats. The townscape that has remained since the early Edo period, stores renovated from old private homes, and Michelin-starred restaurants make for an enjoyable stroll through this adult town that is a bit of a hideaway. Please visit Iwase, a town with a mixture of old and new, by taking the streetcar.

There are also many spots in the central city area of Toyama. Please enjoy the tram trip by traveling to Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art, Toyama City Glass Art Museum, and Toyama Canal Kansui Park.

Tomiwa Canal Water Park where you want to stay slowly!

The Toyama Canal Kannsui Park is a 10-minute walk from Toyama Station, and here you will find the rumored "Starbucks Coffee Toyama Kannsui Park Branch," which is said to be the most beautiful in the world. The reason it is called so is because it won the "Store Design Award Grand Prize" in 2008, which is given to the store with the best design among all Starbucks stores in the world. It is wonderful to spend more time in transit and enjoy the four seasons with a nice view.

It is also the departure and arrival point for the Tomiwa Water Line, a canal cruise connecting Nakajima Locks and the Iwase area, which takes about one hour and offers beautiful scenery. At Nakajima Locks, you can experience a "water elevator" with a water level difference of 2.5 meters.
