Toyama Private Tour Guides

“Flexible, scenic, off the beaten path”

Yuta accommodated my last-minute request to drop by the traditional medicine shop before heading for the Great Buddha. We also managed to visit a brand new observation bridge for viewing Mt Tateyama before learning more about the history of copper casting in the historic district of Takaoka. The owners were kind enough to show us around their workshops and explain the process, so it was quite educational. The castle area with all the cherry blossoms and the coastline were both very beautiful. Recommended for folks who have specific interests or want a scenic and relaxing day away from the usual tourist hotspots. Personally, I would've appreciated more suggestions on available options and local attractions.

Thank you for joining the tour! We started Toyama station and went the Ikedaya Yasube pharmacy and experienced making medicine pills. On the way to Takaoka, we visited the brand new bridge "Kureha foot path", and we could see the scenery great view of Tateyama mountain range. It was the perfect day to go to the observatory. In Takaoka, we visited Takaoka great Buddha, cafe, Takaoka old castle park, Kanayamachi town, and Amaharashi coast. It was the best day for seeing cherry blossoms and Mt. Tateyama, so I chose those spots this time, but I wish I could have offered a few more options. I would like to make this clear. Thank you!

“Cultural and immersive tours ”

First time for a day visit to Toyama. We were visiting from a cruse ship. Yuta and his driver Taka met us promptly at the meeting place. He had planned some interesting activities to learn about the real Japan. This included tours of places of worship, rituals and explanations. We went to see artisans at work making ceremonial bowls and kimonos. We were the only tourists there. It was a personal experience. Yuta’s English was exceptional. We talked about Japanese food and he even took us to the supermarket to buy ingredients. The vehicle was excellent and Yuta really goes out of his way to make the experience unique. Would recommend.

I was really glad to meet you guys! I planned unique experience for you this time. That ceremonial bowls is called "Keisu" in Japanese. In the sewing class, they came to welcome you and wear Kimono for the presentation even not on the lesson day, voluntarily. They were very happy that you wore Kimono and you said it was tasty Match tea. Those seasonings from the supermarket would be nice for cooking after coming back to your county.We all really appreciate you came to Takaoka area! Please come back in the future!
