    Toyama Pref. Toyamashi Arimine
    This artificial lake in Arimine, Toyama City was created by the construction of Arimine Dam. The entire area has been designated as a prefectural natural park. The Arimine Rindo (forest road) that runs along the lake's shore offers amazing views of seasonal sights including vibrant green forests, the magnificent Tateyama Mountain Range, burning red autumn foliage, and the lake's mysterious surface. Make sure to catch a glimpse of the wondrous sight of the lake's surface hidden by the morning mist. The lake also has camping and lodging facilities, meaning that visitors can take their time to enjoy the area's natural beauty.

Toyama Areas

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.
