Toyama Castle Park, Japanese castle ruins in Toyama, Japan
Toyama Castle features stone walls, moats, and the preserved Chitose Gate within a spacious park setting in the center of Toyama city.
The castle, constructed in 1543 by Jinbo Nagamoto, served as a strategic stronghold at the intersection of the Hokuriku and Hida trade routes.
The Local History Museum inside the reconstructed castle tower displays artifacts, including a 140-centimeter tall helmet worn by feudal lord Maeda Toshitsune.
The castle museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with adult admission at 210 yen and free entry for high school students and younger visitors.
The castle earned the name 'Floating Castle' due to its defensive design incorporating the flowing waters of the Jinzu River around its perimeter.
