I'm going to Japan in 5 weeks traveling from Fukuoka towards Tokyo in about 22 days. I am so exited. It almost feels unreal. If been trying to go to Japan starting eight years ago, so it is a relieve it is finally happening. My previous attempt was in early 2020.

I’m glad you’ve visited my hometown Toyama! Toyama is an unassuming place compared to Kanazawa, but a hidden gem. Yes, no trip to Toyama is complete without trying masuzushi (trout sushi).

I am Japanese and a resident of Toyama Prefecture. Thank you for introducing Toyama Prefecture! On clear days in Toyama Prefecture, you can see the majestic Tateyama Mountain Range, which is spectacular. Personally, I think it is as beautiful as Mt. Fuji and is my favorite scenery. This is a scenery that can only be seen in Toyama Prefecture in Japan. Toyama Prefecture is also famous for its delicious seafood in Japan. Toyama's sushi is highly praised even among Japanese people, so if you want to eat delicious sushi and sashimi, please come! In particular, I personally recommend the white shrimp sushi. All of the places you recommended are not crowded and you can enjoy sightseeing comfortably.

Thanks for visiting my home prefecture! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay here. I know you couldn't possibly catch everything--Kurobe Dam, the hot springs at Unazuki, the beauty of the Tonami plain and the woodcarving town of Inami... etc. But too bad you missed my part of the prefecture--the fishing town of Shinminato, right on Toyama Bay and one of the richest fishing grounds in all of Japan. The 2-km-long Uchikawa river runs from one end of town to the other, and permanently 'parked' at Kaiwomaru Park is the magnificent Kaiomaru sailing vessel. Oh, and I just happen to own Bridge Bar, the only authentic bar in Shinminato, located in an 80-year-old renovated house right alongside the Uchikawa (just about midpoint), with a menu that includes over 80 varieties of American bourbons and rye whiskeys. Tell your friends!😅👋

That library looks really great! Combining wood and books never fails, maybe because paper is made from wood.

Speaking of libraries, 15 years ago, I met one person at a library, and the person's face, stature and, interestingly enough, fashion style are similar to Audrey's.

Toyoma is a lovely place in every season. The Toyoma public library which also houses the glass art museum is beautiful. Starbucks at Kansui park is really nice too. Take the local train for a scenic ride along the Amaharashi coast . From Toyoma, its easy to go to Kurobe gorge , Kurobe alpine route to see the snow walls , Kanazawa n Takayama also. Shirakawago n Shin Hotaka japanese alps is easily accessible by Nohi bus from Toyoma or Takayama too.

Just outside the city is famous Kurobe Gorge. We liked it, but the train ride up the gorge is on the pricey side. The Kurobe area has plenty of hot springs.

Would you recommend hanging in the city or seeing/ doing as much as possible?

That sounds exciting! I would say, give yourself at least 1 day in Toyama and do the activities that most peak your interest - I would make time for the Matsukawa Boat ride. You can then have another day to visit Shirakawa-go by bus, and use your third day for another day trip.

We just had very high expectations after hearing other travel vloggers rave about the place, but we found it to be very touristy and crowded. It could just be our personal preference - we hear Kanazawa is a place that people either love or hate. We prefer quieter destinations that aren't as saturated with tourists.
