One of the port towns representing Hokuriku Toyama
Namekawa City is located in the central part of Toyama Prefecture and is a port town facing Toyama Bay. Namerikawa City is famous for its beautiful sea and mountain scenery, rich nature and culture.
Regarding the history of Namegawa City, Namegawa City used to be a post station town on the Hokuriku Kaido Road, and was known as one of the bases for selling drugs in Toyama since the Edo period. The city's name comes from Hiki Choshu's use of the kanji for Namekawa for Hairi River in the Middle Ages.
