Oyabe, Historic municipality in western Toyama Prefecture, Japan

The city stretches across 134 square kilometers of the Tonami flatlands, featuring moderate temperatures and consistent rainfall throughout the year.

Originally part of Etchu Province, Oyabe emerged from the 1962 merger of Isurugi town and Tochu, establishing its current municipal status.

The Tsuzawa Yotaka Festival, celebrated at 84 locations throughout Oyabe, maintains a centuries-old tradition during June nights.

Travelers reach Oyabe through the Ainokaze Toyama Railway at Isurugi Station, connecting to major transport networks across Toyama Prefecture.

The city contains 35 Marchen buildings that incorporate architectural elements from European and Japanese designs, creating a distinctive visual landscape.
