There are a number of sites along the road, including Moriyama Castle ruins, Heiwa Kannon Statue, a Stupa, Otomo no Iemochi Statue, the Heiwa no Kane peace bell, Man-yo Botanical Garden, and Futagamiyama Campground.

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.
