This trip starts from Kansai and takes an in-depth tour of Toyama . We go to the Shinminato Fish Market and taste the two specialties of Toyama Bay. We visit the Glass Art Museum in the City of Glass , which turns out to be the work of Kengo Kuma. We take you to Toyama Station to discover must-eat restaurant specialties and must-buy items. Souvenirs introducing the extremely high CP hotel next to the station. Hello everyone , I am Sharon. I am currently at the hotel above Shin-Osaka Station . In fact, I will leave for Toyama today to visit Toyama City for four days and then return to Tokyo first . I know that everyone is very concerned about the impact of the Great Hokuriku Earthquake on January 1. In fact, its epicenter was mainly concentrated in the popular tourist spots of Kanazawa and Toyama in the north of the Noto Peninsula. The impact was relatively small. Many tourist spots have returned to normal now . The damage to Himi City is relatively large. It is recommended that everyone not go there for the time being. However, even if the tourist spots return to normal, the number of tourists in the four nearby counties has plummeted . In March and April 2024, the Japanese government will plan to launch some tourism subsidies . It is reported that accommodation fees of 20,000 yuan per person per night will be subsidized. I hope everyone will support the post-disaster tourism revitalization of Hokuriku. Now I will set off to Toyama first. One advantage of this hotel is that it is very close to the station. The hotel is located above Shin-Osaka Station. As soon as you get downstairs, you are already at the station. It is especially suitable for those who have to take a long-distance train early in the morning. The station lunch boxes are available early in the morning, so you can buy breakfast and eat it on the train. Currently, there is no Shinkansen that goes directly to Hokuriku, so you have to take the JR limited express train - When I went to Thunderbird, I took the train to Kanazawa and then transferred to the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Toyama. The whole journey takes more than 3 hours. However, after March 16, 2024, the Hokuriku Shinkansen section from Tsuruga to Kanazawa will be completed. From Tsuruga, you can go directly to Toyama, which saves you half an hour than before. You can visit Tsuruga and Kaga hot springs that I have introduced, as well as Toyama, which I introduced in this episode. Later, I will publish another volume on Nagano Prefecture to teach you how to enjoy the entire area. Starting from March, everyone remembers to get off the Hokuriku Shinkansen at Tsuruga and transfer directly to the Shinkansen to Toyama. Take the bus from Osaka to Toyama. In addition, for the in-depth tour of Kansai in the previous series, I used the Kansai-Hokuuriku area pass for seven days. I saved 8,000 yen after using it for six days. You can read my previous introduction. I have arrived in Toyama. La Toyama Prefecture is so big. Today we will visit Toyama City first. I booked a hotel near the station. It is very close. I put down my luggage. After that we went to play Follow Me . Toyama Station is one of the important transportation hubs in Hokuriku. In addition to the Hokuriku Shinkansen , it also has the Aizokaze Railway and Tateyama Kurobe. You can transfer to the Toyama local railway here . You can take the tram to the scenic spots and there are three lines in total to travel around the city, so it is very important to choose a hotel close to the station. In recent years, many cost-effective new hotels have been opened near the station. This is the station , but it is very close to where I am. I saw this building as soon as I left the hotel I booked. Below the small shopping mall here is the entrance of the hotel I want to stay. There are some shops above where I can browse. I have never stayed in this hotel group brand. How many of them are there ? There are not many chain hotels. Although this shopping mall is not big , it has 14 restaurants and homeware stores and clothing stores. I have already walked around for a while without putting down my luggage . But I will introduce it to you here. There are electric railways and electric railways at the south entrance. There are long-distance buses and buses with special routes, but the one you shouldn’t miss is this shop called Gen. The rice balls he sells are really popular. My friends in Toyama Prefecture highly recommended it. One of the must-try items I want to buy is the kombu rice balls from Toyama Prefecture. The fried white shrimps are also great! After buying the rice balls, you have to go to the No. 2 bus stop to take the special bus to Shinminato Fish Market . This special sightseeing bus route is first introduced in winter , and there are only two buses a day . This bus can go as far as Himi. Street and it does not require reservation. There is a kind of black called Toyama black ramen. Black kelp is the favorite of Toyama people . I really like this black kelp rice ball. Its salty and fresh taste is really good . If you don’t take the bus, you can take the railway in Takaoka. At the station, transfer to the Manyo Line train or bus , but it will take 1.5 hours to arrive. This sightseeing bus must be the fastest. It only takes 45 minutes to go directly to the Shinminato Fish Market. It passes through the Shinminato Bridge and Kaiwang Maru on the way. The reviews of Shinminato Fish Market , which overlooks Toyama Bay, are quite extreme. First of all, it is not the kind of fish market that everyone imagines, with many shops selling different seafood, sushi , and snacks. It is not the kind of Tsukiji or Tsuruga kind . It is a tourist-oriented place with a place for everyone to sit down and eat. There are several restaurants. But if you come in winter, this is a good place to eat crabs. So before going to the fish market, I will first find out what kind of fish market it is. First manage your own expectations or the expectations of those traveling with you. I was a little disappointed when I arrived. I rushed to make an appointment immediately, but it was all full today. I had no choice but to eat. I wanted to try that restaurant. It had crabs. But today, he actually took other reservations and had to open at 1:00. Only going to this one is my second choice . Fortunately, I usually have several restaurants selected in my itinerary. This one is famous for its reputation. Donoh TV has introduced that although you can't see the auction , you will wait until 1 o'clock and then go to the restaurant across the street to try the crab. The red and white donburi is a rice bowl made with Toyama's specialty red crab and white shrimp. The red crab is Toyama. Known as the Queen of Flavors, it has always been famous for its freshness and sweetness , and the white shrimps of Toyama Bay are one of the famous products. They have a touch of creamy sweetness and are unforgettable. I missed them and Toyama very much after I tried them last time. The rice is actually quite famous This set also includes crab soup, so you can eat all the specialties of Toyama Bay in one meal . Now a large group of people are waiting for the crabs to come out. The ban on Toyama red crabs started to be lifted in September, and November is the most plump season . You can eat crab season until May. They will cook the auctioned crabs on the spot and sell them on the spot. Why cook them on the spot? Because the red crabs live in deep sea water and die easily, so you have to eat the freshest crabs. The delicious red crab must be eaten at the beach , such as Shinminato Fish Market and Tottori Sakai Port . After it is cooked on the spot, it will be divided into different sizes and sold at different prices. You can queue up to buy it on the spot. There were too many people lining up to eat , so I chose the restaurant opposite the fish market. They also have freshly cooked red crabs. I just asked me to choose one. This one was too big and I chose a thinner one that was already cooked. All of them were taught by him. The journey of eating crabs was really crazy. I had the fragrant pillar crab, then the jianren crab, and then the red crab. I think I ate at least four crabs hahahaha ! It’s so umami, so umami, so umami. In fact, the red crab is very umami. I think the umami taste is even better than that of the Matsuba crab. But the point is, if you really want to go to some such offshore fishing ports, it has just come into the water. It has just been auctioned and just cooked before it can be eaten . Normally, I will teach you to cut it in the middle. When I eat crab, I cut it on the side because it is more convenient for me to eat it. Because he scrapes it like this and the whole thing comes out. If it is another long-legged crab, the crab meat is hard and not so soft. After cutting, it will be the original strip. Its taste is slightly different from the Matsuba crab I ate before . It is fresher and sweeter, but the meat is There is a lot of mold. I don’t know why . Those white tissues are not from the paste , but they are very tasty. I don’t know what they are from . Can anyone tell me? I like to eat crabs , but I don’t know the structure of crabs well. They come from crabs that go bad easily after entering the water, so they only appear in some good and fresh fishing ports , such as Tottori, which I went to before. It cost 600 yen to eat a bunch of these feet, and all of them fell off. It’s just that the 600 yen feet were so delicious, and there were dozens of them that we couldn’t finish . My friend and I ate them until we didn’t want to eat them. The shell is so soft, so you don’t have to worry about eating this. It’s hard to peel and hard to eat. It’s so simple . There are many local products here , but most of these local products are not suitable for us tourists to buy back. Another thing in the venue that attracts more attention is this white shell. Many people bought the shrimp ice cream to check in , but there was no interest. After lunch time, it was very quiet and there were few people. The items were sold out quickly. There were two buses back to Toyama Station in the afternoon, which was about 3 o'clock. There was not much time left. So I went to the art museum. The electric train in Toyama is a major feature of the local area. You must try it. You can take it from Toyama Station or Esta to Nishimachi. This special building is the Toyama City Museum of Glass. It was designed by the famous architect Kengo Kuma, using a combination of local stone, glass and aluminum as well as building materials with different characteristics. The permanent exhibitions inside display contemporary glass art works , just like this building. Modern ! This solo exhibition is so beautiful. I want to see it. The second floor is Souvenir Shop. The most unforgettable thing here must be the permanent exhibition on the 6th floor - the Glass Art Garden, which displays the works of glass art masters. The works use nature as inspiration and the colors are so bright. It is so vital and completely changed my view of glass. It turns out that it can be so beautiful. There are more than 400 pieces in the collection of the Glass Art Museum, which are displayed on several different floors. However, it is not allowed to take pictures . Why did Toyama become the city of glass in the first place? It is a famous medicine town in the Edo period. It was already famous for selling medicine. In the Meiji and Taisho eras, it was popular to use glass bottles to store some medicines. Therefore, there used to be many glass craftsmen here. Anyone who wants to experience the culture here can also participate. In addition to glass works, the glass workshop in Toyama Prefecture is also the library of Toyama City. I think its library is also amazing. The bookshelves and benches here are so beautiful. Even the old newspaper collection is beautifully arranged. Although I don’t read Japanese , it was very attractive to me. I just saw a beautiful exhibition. I didn’t expect that you can use branches to create an effect that looks like ice and snow . The glass art here is also very beautiful . It’s very close and convenient to the city’s attractions . It’s worth a visit. If you want to do some shopping and eat delicious food, I would recommend everyone to go back to Toyama Station. There is a large souvenir area in front of the station. I think it is a bit like Kanazawa’s Baiban Street. There are many souvenirs from the surrounding areas. After eating it, I think this kind of kelp shredded rice balls is a must-buy for breakfast rice balls . Have you ever seen a specialty store that sells water? The water in Toyama is so famous here. I will introduce the la noodle noodles in the next two episodes . There are also two restaurants. One of the things you can miss is the conveyor belt sushi restaurant Sushi Yuma. There are always long queues of people. Toyama's conveyor belt sushi is famous for its freshness. The ingredients are stocked several times a day. I wanted to finish my shopping before coming here to eat, but in the end there was no table. Another famous restaurant is Shirazu Tei. This Shirazu Tei is a must-try here. If you are too lazy to go to Shinminato Market, you can try Toyama Bay’s gem white shrimp here, whether you are making sashimi or making tempura . Such delicious souvenirs are so considerate here. They also have TA-Q-BIN. If you want to travel across districts, you can make good use of this service. This souvenir shop is located at the station. I highly recommend it because it is so delicious. We have carefully selected a lot of Toyama products , and they are all in good quality and are suitable for gifting to friends. For example, kombu does not need to be bought in a big bag. It is equally delicious when used for meals or soup. Toyama's famous products - rice is a must-buy. You can even buy Uozuya soy sauce, which has been making sashimi soy sauce since ancient times. The shopping mall next to the station is right below my hotel. There are many things to buy. The Cosme store will always be my favorite. In addition to the latest limited products, I don’t want to buy skincare anymore. Let me tell you which ones are the most popular. This one is a popular concealer because it contains a lot of beauty essence and fits well. There is also a British chocolate brand. They used to be available in Hong Kong , but they seem to have disappeared recently ! This homeware store is really nice to shop in . It’s really a good deal. I remember Taobao sells it very expensive. Can you estimate how much this costs ? It’s 300 yen. The texture is super soft and cooked. It’s so comfortable. It’s not made from Taobao. Two-layer vacuum structure thermos cup. Oh my god , I really want to buy it. Is it a bit too much to buy this ? Those moisture-proof stones put the grains there. So simple, so simple, so cute. Although this mall is small , its products are really good and sell well . Especially the homeware store is highly recommended . There are also several restaurants here with good online reviews , but I won’t eat here. Of course I want to eat conveyor belt sushi. There is another restaurant that is my favorite just a few minutes walk from the station. I just went to the hotel and sat there for a while and I was hungry again so as not to wake up hungry tonight, so I went out to find sushi to eat. I am now waiting for a table. This restaurant is actually blessed by celebrities from popular restaurants. However, it is open late at night and there are not many people. The conveyor belt sushi opened in Hokuriku is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Toyama Bay is famous for its variety of fish, so it is Here you can eat a lot of fresh and various types of sushi , including three special sushis. You can eat different types of sushi in one go. The crab sticks in the box are good. The Yudachi fisheries products are all good . Thank you, Shaofan . I think his rice is actually It's a little different from other sushi restaurants. It's a little different, but it's hard to tell where it is. You'll never get this kombu white shrimp in another place. It's so good. Toyama Bay's rich and fresh ingredients. In addition, the high-quality rice grown in melted snow water has become the key to the delicious Toyama sushi. It has to meet the high standards of Toyama people who often eat high-quality rice and delicious seafood. How can you go back to a hotel without such strength? In fact, the room is small , but this The price will scare everyone. It 's about 400 yuan a night. I don't dare to ask for too much. It 's newly opened, clean, complete with management supplies , and a place for me to display my trophies. It looks pretty stylish , but I don't really like the downstairs. If there is no water in the hotel where you pick up daily necessities, you will be deducted points, but forget it. It’s only a few hundred Hong Kong dollars. You can forgive him. You can also take a bath, even if you don’t ask for so much. The next episode will be an in-depth tour of Toyama and take everyone to eat the black food that Toyama people specially go to eat. The bena water pig will take you to the apple orchard to pick soft ripe apples with high sugar content and juiciness. It is a fun and delicious mochi experience , but it is really busy. We will take you to eat the fisherman’s private cuisine and finally stay in a hotel overlooking the Tateyama Mountain Range.
