Toyama in One Day: ホテル集合 & 解散 — Guide Gucci

Title: What's a Private Toyama Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Glass Art, Iwase, and the Tateyama Mountains

The guest was a solo traveler from Europe. Having many acquaintances in Japan, they planned to end this trip with a homestay of about ten days at a friend's house in the Kanto region. Since they had never visited the Sea of Japan side of the country, they had been looking forward to this trip. They also spoke a little Japanese. As soon as we met, they told me about their current situation back home. They were in the middle of selling their home and moving into the house where their family had once lived, so this trip took place during a very busy period of relocation. Because they had been so busy, they had done almost no prior research. They were very fond of talking and shared their thoughts on the current situations in Europe, Ukraine, and Russia, as well as news about the families they support.

At the Toyama Glass Art Museum, they were very taken with the installation by Dale Chihuly. They also photographed the museum building itself. At the Ikedaya Yasube Shoten, I explained the history of medicine in Toyama, and they tried making traditional round pills. In Iwase, the weather was perfect, and the Tateyama mountain range looked beautiful rising above the harbor. They took many photos and were deeply moved, saying there was nothing like this back home. They also immediately sent the photos to their friends. In the town of Iwase, we did a sake tasting. We also strolled around the town, visited a beer brewery, and bought some Japanese rice crackers. At the Fugan Canal Kansui Park, they enjoyed the panoramic view of the park and the 3,000-meter-class Tateyama mountain range from the Tenmon Bridge. They said this was a place they had really wanted to visit. Blessed with fine weather, it turned out to be a very precious visit to Toyama.
