    Toyama Kurobe-shi Kurobe Okuyama Kokuyurin
    This 34 meter high bridge is found on the walk toward Babadani Valley from the final stop on the Kurobe Gorge Railway, Keyakidaira Station. The solidly built bridge is painted deep red, and the color matches the green of the valley below perfectly. In the fall foliage season, it draws massive crowds. The peak foliage season is from late October through mid-November.

    The bridge is next to Keyakidaira train station. If you want to go uphill to Meiken Onsen and Babadani Jigoku direction, you need to pass through this bridge which is currently under minor repair...

    Toyama Kurobe-shi Ikuji Aimonocho
    This portable bridge crosses Kurobe Port, in the Ikuji district of Kurobe City, Toyama prefecture. It was built during the Showa era to allow crossing of Kurobe Port to expand the port, and at first was a full draw-bridge style, but now half of the bridge rotates to allow passage. It's a rare design, and was the first such rotating half-bridge in Japan.

    Toyama Pref. Imizushi Honmachi 2-10-30
    The largest cable-stayed bridge in the Japan Sea region, the Shinminato-ohashi Bridge links the east and west coasts of Toyama Shinko port in Imizu City, Toyama Prefecture. It is 3.6 kilometers long, with the main section suspended over the sea coming in at 600 meters and the main tower 127 meters tall. The contrast between the blue sea and white tower is splendid, as is the view of the sprawling Japan Sea, the Tateyama mountain range, and the Noto Peninsula from the elevated road and the walkway on the lower level.

    Toyama Takaoka-shi
    "This bridge was named after the verse in Shijing, the oldest Chinese poetry book, with the meaning ""The phoenix cries out, here is the high hill (Takaoka) it calls home."" It crosses the Senbo River, which flows near Kanaya-machi, the heart of Takaoka's metal casting industry. There are two phoenix statues made by Naoki Tominaga to the left and right of the bridge. Takaoka City became a metal-casting center in 1609, when Maeda Toshinaga invited seven metal casters here to build casting workshops and help bolster the castle town's economy."

    Toyama Kurobe-shi Unazuki Onsen
    "This promenade was provided on the road from Kurobe Gorge Railway's Unazuki Station to Unazuki Dam, utilizing the track bed of a former Torokko tram, and is about one km long one way. The ""Shin Yamabiko Bridge"" is a popular photo spot, as you can see the Torokko trains running from the bridge."

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.
