Toyama

Built around Toyama Castle, Toyama grew into the administrative and commercial centre of Toyama Prefecture. The city lies on the Toyama Plain, where rivers descending from the Tateyama Mountains reach Toyama Bay on the Sea of Japan. The castle grounds preserve the outline of the former feudal stronghold; its current keep was reconstructed in 1959 and contains the Toyama Municipal Folk Museum. Toyama is also associated with masu-zushi, pressed trout sushi traditionally wrapped in bamboo leaves, a regional speciality sold at stations and shops.
