About Toyama Prefecture
Toyama is a prefecture on Japan's main island, Honshu. Its Hida Mountains are known for hot springs and ski areas. The capital, also called Toyama, is the starting point of the 90km-long Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. On this popular sightseeing course, visitors travel by bus, funicular and ropeway to sites like Mt. Tate (one of Japan's 3 Holy Mountains), Mikurigaike crater lake and 186m-tall Kurobe Dam.
