    The chance to experience the ancient Edo streets of Kanazawa via the new Hokuriku Shinkansen will surely draw many to the long-neglected west coast of Japan. But those who travel this way on a clear day will no doubt feel spendor as they pass by the sight of the massive Japan Alps towering over a cityscape that thins out into the distance. A few may feel that irresistable draw of going further off the beaten path, wondering what secrets are hiding in those distant settlements and mountain peaks. For those craving such adventure, a stop in Toyama is a good place to get started while maybe enjoying another detour or two along the way.

    Known for its chemical and pharmacutical industries since the Meiji era and beyond, 99.5% of Toyama was obliterated in the firebombing raids of the second world war. Rather than fall into decay, however, these strong industries, combined with the promise brought by the opening of the shinkansen, have helped Toyama to rise above the ashes. Designed to be a "compact city", Toyama has seen large development in transportation, living, recreation and shopping facilities in recent years, perfectly suited for its population of half a million. You won't find all of the conveniences of some of the larger modern Japanese cities, but those who visit can enjoy some nearby comforts without having to travel very far.

    While the city proper offers a few interesting attractions within its center, many of Toyama's sightseeing and hiking opportunities are scattered throughout the several surrounding towns it administers, as well as in the dense mountains to the south. Thus, for many visitors, Toyama serves as a hub to reach these surrounding areas.

    • By plane

      Toyama has its own airport, from which buses run to the city center (25 min, ¥400). Toyama Kitokito Airport has international flights to Shanghai, Seoul, Vladivostok, and Dalian and local service to Tokyo, Sapporo, and Fukuoka. However, flight schedules change heavily with the season so it would be worth checking out in advance what is available for when you will be traveling. With the recent start of the Hokuriku Shinkansen and relative inaccessabilty except by car or bus, the burden is on Toyama airport to keep customers. When travelling to Toyama on a budget, be sure to check flight prices to see if you can't get a cheaper deal over the Shinkansen.

    • By train

      From [wiki=62413a57c5e3dc51177995fa175d3286]Tokyo[/wiki] Station, Toyama can be reached in just over two hours by taking a Kagayaki-class train on the recently opened Hokuriku Shinkansen. At 310 km, a one-way trip regularly costs ¥12,730 for a reserved seat, ¥17,360 for Green Class, or ¥25,580 for a "Grand Class" seat, though JR Rail Pass holders pay no extra costs for a basic reserved seat. The first train departs Toyko Station at 6:16am and the last leaves at 10:04 in the evening. If you're a fan of scenic travel, be sure to stay awake through the last leg of the trip after the long strech of tunnels from Itoigawa Station. The view of the towering Tateyama mountain range on a clear day is really spectacular.

      Frequent Thunderbird (サンダーバード) limited express trains run to Toyama from [wiki=0d70a380fe641d8206c6d43c185b9c23]Osaka[/wiki] and [wiki=492379b2b8f7ac3f7cc8e0ca6254f4b1]Kyoto[/wiki] in Kansai, and will take you as far as Kanazawa, where you'll need to transfer to the Hokuriku Shinkansen. From there, Kagayaki trains are the most direct, whereas Hakutaka and Tsurugi trains will stop at ShinTakaoka Station along the way. The full trip will take at least three hours - not including transfer time - and costs ¥9430 one-way with reserved seats (free for JR Rail Pass holders). If you need to save a little money and time isn't an issue, an unreserved seat and a transfer to the IR Ishikawa Railway at Kanazawa will save you a marginal amount at ¥8350.

    Just around the corner from My Pleasure and down the street from the Lawsons convenience store you'll come across the Irish pub Pot Still which has a sign (an image of a traditional Irish distilling apparatus) remotely resembling a pile of crap. Grab a pint of Guiness and Bass to go with a plate of the best fish and chips in town. Pot Still has darts and pool and a very foreigner friendly environment.

    For a more relaxed bar/club, try Beeline in an alley off the Chuodori end of Sogawa. This area is also home to a few bars and Izakaya. Just opposite and south of Daiwa, the quirky De Niro lies in an alley.
