Today we walked from the hotel (Toyoko Inn Toyama Ekimae Takara-machi) to the Shintomicho Station to take the tram to visit Toyama Castle. The tram fare is 200 yen per person. The tram runs for 4 stations. If we look to the left, we will see the castle.

Get off the tram at Kokusaikaigijo-Mae Station and cross the street to reach the castle entrance.

On the left hand side, there are beautiful tulips. Let's stop by and take some photos.

On the right hand side, there is an audio tape with information about the castle. Before listening, you must turn the tape player on.
