Toyama Hidden Gems

Hogar de la Ruta Alpina de Tateyama Kurobe, cuyo «Gran Valle de Nieve» de 20 metros de altura es un espectáculo primaveral. El puente rojo del desfiladero de Kurobe, las aldeas gassho-zukuri de Gokayama y los calamares luciérnaga bioluminiscentes de la bahía de Toyama completan un destino donde mar y montaña se encuentran.

9 spots
