Welcome to the Toyama-ken Restaurant, Bar & Shopping Guide
We have compiled an easy-to-use guide of the local areas. This guide contains listings of local restaurants, shops, and bars that we hope will be a help to you. Hopefully this information is accurate and up to date, but if not please feel free to let us know by emailing the PA or GEC ALT. Also, if you have anything you want to add, do not hesitate to contact us with the information about the restaurant/bar or shop we have missed!
Since every restaurant, bar and shop in Toyama-ken could not be listed, it is sometimes best to just go out & explore!
A big THANKS to everyone who contributed to this handbook!

If you can read Japanese, the following websites are a big help when trying to decide where to eat in Toyama:

An additional note for those of you that love to cook but can’t figure out the labels and various products in the grocery store: get a copy of A Guide to Food Buying in Japan by Carolyn Krause. It has been highly recommended. Also recommended by Jen Rankin is The Original “POINT AND SPEAK” Phrasebook (an A5-size picture dictionary for 1500 yen) that includes topics such as transport, clothes, colours, seasons, daily necessities, and most importantly, food.
