    コースは3コースあるようだが、私たち観光客はこのコースがいいんじゃないかな? 所要時間往復で70分程度、中島閘門でいったん下船し閘門や中島閘門操作所を見学。 そうして発着所へ戻る。 時間がない人には20分コースもあるらしい。 船の定員は50名ほど、乗船時に救命具が手渡される(腰に巻くタイプ)。 乗船した船の名前は「kansui」であった。 中島閘門に近づくと扉が開くので席は...

    Toyama Pref. Toyamashi Honmaru 1-34
    Come take a relaxing cruise on a sightseeing boat along the Matsukawa River, which flows around Toyama Castle Ruin Park. The boat dock also features a teahouse, Matsukawa Chaya, which serves a variety of sweets. Passengers can enjoy the seasonal views while listening to the commentary from the boatman during the approximately 30-minute cruise. During the spring, the 460 cherry blossom tree that line both banks of the river come into full bloom, earning Toyama Castle a spot on Japan's best 100 places to view cherry blossoms. The castle, which served as the model for a song composed by composer Rentaro Taki, is also a place full of historic atmosphere.

    文字通り松川を遊覧する観光船です。乗り場は松川茶屋で、まちなか観光案内所の北側、佐藤記念美術館の東側にあります。そばに行けば直ぐに判ると思います。ルートは遊覧船の発着所から船橋まで上流に進み、船橋を越えたところでUターンしていたち川との合流地点まで向かい、そこからまた発着所まで戻ります。所用時間は30分ほどでした。桜の時期は30分おき、それ以外の季節は45分おきに出発しているようです。ホームページ...

    Tateyama cho, Nakashinagawa gun, Toyama Prefecture
    The Garve, which does a circuit around Lake Kurobe in about 30 minutes, is the only pleasure boat in Japan that operates at such a high elevation (1,448 meters at the highest point). On the Alpen Cruise, you can watch as the Northern Alps (Hida Mountains) appear before you and experience the grandeur of Kurobe’s natural scenery. The mountains are still snowy even amidst the greenery of spring and summer, and the autumn colors and winter scenery are breathtaking as well. It’s about 60 minutes from the Azumino Interchange on the Nagano Expressway or 90 minutes from the Nagano Interchange on the Joshin-Etsu Expressway.

Toyama Areas

around-area-map

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.
