1. What kind of place is Namekawa City?
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.

Established by Shigeru Aoi, CEO of Atom Co., Ltd., which has a connection with Toyama, Kitanihon Shimbun, which represents Toyama, and Ayumu Ishikawa, a professional baseball player from Toyama. We are a team that connects something with Toyama and creates new businesses together with Toyama. If you define “regional revitalization” as creating a sustainable society by making use of the characteristics of each region in Japan to put a brake on the overconcentration of Tokyo, the “regional awakening” that Toyamato is aiming for is completely different. have a concept Instead of being led by the local government or government, many people with a love for Toyama will rediscover the charm of Toyama, take pride in it, and spread it around the world on their own initiative. Ultimately, the main character is “people”, and I believe that the diversity of people mixed together will enhance the appeal of Toyama.
