Toyama, Core city with glass arts in Hokuriku Region, Japan
Toyama sits between the Sea of Japan and the Northern Alps, offering direct views of mountain ranges reaching 3000 meters in height.
The city developed from a castle town built by Sassa Narimasa in the 16th century and later became a center for medicine production during the Edo period.
The Toyama Glass Art Museum maintains the largest concentration of glass artisans in Japan, featuring contemporary exhibitions in its six-story building.
The Hokuriku Shinkansen connects Toyama to Tokyo in two hours, making it a gateway for exploring the Japanese Alps and neighboring prefectures.
Local pharmaceutical companies continue the tradition of medicine peddlers by producing and distributing remedies throughout Japan from their Toyama facilities.
