Begin Your Summer Toyama Sightseeing in a Lush Green Park Surrounded by Moat and Stone Walls

About this spot

An urban park in the center of Toyama City built around the remains of Toyama Castle. The reconstructed castle keep is surrounded by a moat and stone walls, and in summer becomes a pleasant retreat with deep greenery and cool shade. The spacious lawn area within the castle grounds allows children to run freely, making it an ideal first stop after a long journey. The view of the castle keep across the moat is a classic Toyama sightseeing spot and perfect for commemorative photos. Take a leisurely stroll at the start of your day to feel the air of Toyama's streets.

Fireworks details

Name: 北日本新聞納涼花火大会富山会場

Date & time: 8/1 (Sat) 19:40–20:25

Venue: 富山市・神通川有沢橋下流

北日本新聞納涼花火大会の富山会場は、神通川有沢橋下流の河川敷から打ち上がる夏の大会です。広い川幅の真上に開く花火は、遮るものなく大きく見え、爆音が川沿いに響く迫力が河川敷観覧の醍醐味です。川面に映る花火の光が揺れる様子は、神通川ならではの美しい光景。涼しくなってきた夜の川風を感じながら、19時40分から20時25分まで夜空を彩る花火を家族でゆっくり楽しみましょう。夏の富山の夜を飾るにふさわしい、特別な45分間です。

Tips

荒天時の開催可否は北日本新聞または大会公式の発表で当日確認を。終了後は観覧客が一斉に動くため、帰りのバスや駐車場が大変混み合います。フィナーレ後は少し河川敷でゆっくりしてから移動する時間差帰宅がおすすめ。足元が暗い場所があるため小さなライトがあると安心です。
