Approximately 500 meters of the route are opened as a pedestrian walkway on one side, allowing you to enjoy the vibrant scenery.
1st place: Fugan Unga Kansui Park（富岩運河環水公園）
The first place goes to "Fugan Unga Kansui Park," located in Toyama City, just a 9-minute walk from Toyama Station. The area around the north exit of Toyama Station has been developed as a symbolic area of Toyama City's MIRAI project, making effective use of unused land.
The waterside space of the park includes a pleasure boat pier and various facilities such as an art museum, a bird-watching center, and an open-air theater. In addition, the "Toyama-Mirai Line" connects Fugan Unga Kansui Park with the port city of Iwase, and you can experience the Nakajima Lock, which regulates the water level difference.
