Toyama,Japan
Enjoy cultural wonders and culinary delights while skipping the crowds
Cradled on one side by the Japanese Alps and on the other by the Sea of Japan, the city of Toyama serves as a gateway to the Noto Peninsula, which was devastated in 2024 by an earthquake and torrential rain and, although still recovering, is now courting tourists as part of its recovery efforts. The Glass Art Museum, which contains a public library and was designed by Kengo Kuma, is a towering cathedral of timber and light. In early September, the lantern-lit Owara Kaze no Bon festival fills the suburb of Yatsuo with dance. Many of Toyama’s culinary delights are southeast of its historical castle and central park: Alpes offers French bistro bites; Hida unexpectedly — but deliciously — pairs natural wine with oden (one-pot dishes) and izakaya (Japanese pub) fare; Suzukeema serves seasonal Japanese curries. Sip coffee surrounded by model trains at Blue Train and end the day with a cocktail at Hanamizuki-no-heya, a family-run jazz bar.
