Diverse Natural Resources and Abundant Water
 Surrounded
by the steep, mountainous terrain of the Northern Alps on three sides,
and with fertile, rolling plains at its heart, Toyama borders the
Toyama Bay and Sea of Japan. Ranked number one on the island of Honshu
for its amount of natural vegetation, Toyama is blessed with a
beautiful natural environment. A wide variety of flora and fauna, and
the changing of the landscape from season to season will delight
visitor’s eyes.
Toyama’s mountains act as a tremendous
natural dam from which an abundant supply of pure water flows
year-round. This water is utilized in the production of hydroelectric
power and a variety of other purposes, making it a vital resource for
Toyama industries and daily life.
