Hi, I’m Tabi!

Toyama combines a canal park, castle grounds and historic port streets. Start near the station and save Iwase for a separate journey.

This guide covers places within Toyama, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Three places to begin

Three places with different atmospheres. Start with the one that appeals to you instead of visiting them all.

Canal and lawn at Kansui Park01

A first-visit stop

Fugan Canal Kansui Park

富岩運河環水公園

A park created around the canal’s former boat basin. Relax by the water and lawn; mountain views depend on the weather.
