Our guide

Toyama Castle, also called Azumi Castle, is a flatland castle in the city of Toyama, built in 1543. The castle and the land around it are maintained as a public park. Our source says little more than that, so this page is short.

Kokusai-kaigijō-mae stop is about 200 m away in a straight line, and Toyama Glass Art Museum about 600 m. We have not checked opening hours or fees.
