What is Toyama?
Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.

Getting Around
The relatively new Hokuriku Shinkansen runs from Tokyo to both Toyama Station and Shin-Takaoka Station for around 12,000 yen one way. Local trains and buses branch out across the prefecture from there, with organized bus trips the best way to visit the gassho-style houses.
