[Toyama] From Kanazawa: Amaharashi Coast, Big Buddha and Shokawa River Cruise

• Stop by Amaharashi, get some pictures and then head up the coast for other views of the bay and mountains
• See the famous Takaoka Big Buddha and traditional streetscape of the city
• Hop on a river cruise through the Shokawa Valley to experience Japanese seasons at their best in the mountains, on a boat

Toyama Bay is famed for its fresh seafood and stunning mountains. The Northern Japanese Alps offer great sights like the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route, Kurobe Gorge, and Gokayama, but the range itself is breathtaking from afar. This tour visits Amaharashi, a top spot for viewing snow-covered peaks, then heads to Takaoka to see the Big Buddha. The area has excellent food options, too! Finally, the tour ventures into the mountains for a short cruise on the Shokawa River, a stunning valley in all seasons—snowy in winter, lush in summer, and vibrant in autumn. If you want to experience Japan’s sea and mountain scenery, this tour is perfect!
