Toyama

Coastal city on the Sea of Japan in central Honshū, Toyama offers mountain views inland and a dense café and restaurant scene, with UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region. The prefectural capital has been designated a national environmental model city for its greenhouse gas reduction efforts, and its waterfront setting and mountain backdrop make it a regularly photographed stop on Japan's central coast.
