Toyama, a treasure trove of a city, is charming in its own right even without the 'shi' from 'Fujishan'

🎈Travelers, did you know? Besides the bustling Tokyo and Osaka, Japan also has a low-key yet enchanting treasure city—Toyama! 💎 Although it lacks the name 'Fuji', its scenery, art, and cuisine are second to none! 👀 🚄Transportation tips: Departing from Tokyo, Osaka, and other places, take the Hokuriku Shinkansen or JR express train directly to Toyama Station, then transfer to the tram or bus to easily get to various attractions! 🎒 🎨Toyama Glass Art Museum, this place is simply a perfect combination of glass and art! Designed by the architectural master Kengo Kuma, the interweaving of cedar planks, glass, and mirrors creates enchanting light and shadow, making you feel the urge to become an artist every time you visit! 👩‍🎨 Admission is only 200 yen, what a bargain! 🌄Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art and Design, standing here you can overlook the stunning views of the Japanese Alps and the Uchikawa Coast, instantly broadening your mood! Moreover, it's free to enter, offering great value for money! 💖 🌊Uchikawa Coast, truly a sanctuary for healing the soul! The sea breeze gently caresses, waves lap the shore, and worries are blown away! 💨 And it's super photogenic here, easily capturing great shots! 🙏Takaoka Daibutsu, as famous as the Great Buddha of Nara and Kamakura, is a symbol of Toyama! Standing in front of the huge Buddha statue, you can feel the tranquility and solemnity, as if all worries are embraced. 🙏 💡Attention anime fans! This is also the hometown of Doraemon! Around Takaoka Station, you can encounter various Doraemon character statues, and if you're lucky, you might even catch a ride on the limited Doraemon-themed train! 🚃 🍜Food recommendation time! Glass shrimp salt ramen, with firm noodles and a rich broth, paired with Toyama Bay's unique glass shrimp, is a feast for the taste buds! There's also the Toyama rice koji miso ramen, where the unique miso flavor perfectly combines with the aroma of whole wheat flour, leaving a lasting impression! 🍲 🌈Toyama, a treasure city that is charming in its own right even without the 'shi'. 🌈 Whether it's natural scenery, artistic atmosphere, or culinary experiences, it's hard not to fall in love with this place! 💕
