Himi, Coastal port city in Toyama Prefecture, Japan
Himi is a port city along Toyama Bay with views of the Tateyama Mountain Range in Toyama Prefecture. The city stretches across approximately 230 square kilometers and features numerous fishing harbors that shape daily life there.
The area was originally part of Etchu Province and became a town in 1889. It achieved its current city status in 1952 following the merger of surrounding villages into one municipality.
The Himi City Shiokaze Gallery displays works by manga artist Fujiko FujioⒶ, showcasing original drawings from his beloved series. The gallery attracts fans interested in following the artistic journey behind these popular stories.
