After your kimono experience, we'll take a relaxing walk along the Itachi River, a peaceful spot loved by locals. Listening to the gentle sound of the water and enjoying the surrounding greenery offers a quiet break from busy sightseeing.

Along the way, we may stop at a charming retro-style shop for a seasonal treat. In summer, you can enjoy shaved ice, while winter visitors may have the chance to try roasted sweet potatoes. Snacks are available for approximately ¥500–¥1,000.

There is also a public drinking water station nearby, making it easy to stay refreshed during our walk. If time allows, we may even visit what is said to be one of the smallest shrines in Japan, a hidden local spot that many visitors would never find on their own.

One of the city's most remarkable cultural landmarks.

Inside, you'll discover colorful contemporary glass artworks created by artists from Japan and around the world. The highlight is the Glass Art Garden, featuring breathtaking installations by world-renowned glass artist Dale Chihuly.

The museum building itself is also worth experiencing. Designed by celebrated architect Kengo Kuma, it was praised by The New York Times as "a towering cathedral of timber and light." As sunlight filters through the wooden interior, the space feels both peaceful and inspiring.

Whether you are an art lover or simply enjoy beautiful spaces, this museum offers a unique opportunity to experience Toyama's creative spirit and modern culture.

Lunch is flexible and can be tailored to your tastes and budget.

Some of my personal recommendations include sushi, soba, ramen, Italian restaurants, and a unique local onigiri shop. Depending on the season and your interests, I can suggest places ranging from casual local favorites to more special dining experiences.

My goal is not only to show you Toyama's sights, but also to help you enjoy the food that local people love.

Walking through Iwase in an antique kimono can feel a little like stepping back in time. The traditional buildings and slower pace make it a wonderful place to take photos and enjoy a different side of Japan.

The area is also home to popular local sweet shops and sake breweries, where you can browse local products and souvenirs. If time allows, we may also have the opportunity to visit a traditional Japanese house and experience its unique atmosphere.

Rather than a busy sightseeing destination, Iwase is a place to slow down, explore, and enjoy the character of a historic local neighborhood.
