Where to Enjoy Toyama’s Gourmet?
The Higashiiwase area in Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture has flourished since the early Edo period as a port town for Kitamaebune ships that sailed up and down the Sea of Japan. Omachi Street is lined with storehouses and shipping wholesalers, creating a beautiful cityscape. Many of the houses built in the Meiji period with their backs to the riverbank remain, allowing you to fully enjoy the quaint atmosphere of those days.
Recently, new shops have been opening one after another, including a gallery in a renovated storehouse of a shipping wholesaler, a select food shop, a beer pub, a sake bar, and a restaurant, making it a hot spot. Iwase is also the home of white shrimp fishing, and there are many restaurants where you can enjoy fresh white shrimp dishes.
To get to the port town of Iwase, we recommend taking the Fuiwa Water Line, which runs from Fuiwa Canal Kansui Park north of Toyama Station, or the tram from Toyama Station.

Treasure Trove of Sushi and Seafood: Hokuriku Toyama!
Toyama Bay is known to be rich in marine resources due to its topography where the deep sea and shallow sea meet. This is partly due to the fact that nutrients are brought in by rivers large and small, and there is an abundance of plankton, which is food for fish.
Approximately 500 species of seafood inhabit Toyama Bay, including famous white shrimp, oyster shellfish, and red snow crab. Toyama Bay is called a "natural fish tank."
Please come to Hokuriku Toyama where you can enjoy luxurious seafood and sake!
