Toyama sits on the Sea of Japan side of Honshu, backed by the majestic Tateyama mountains. Ringed by 3,000-meter peaks and Toyama Bay, it is rich in nature. Firefly squid and white shrimp caught in the bay are specialties, and the prefecture is known for its long tradition of the "Toyama medicine peddlers."
