Toyama Hidden Gems

Berceau de la Route Alpine de Tateyama Kurobe, dont le « Grand Mur de Neige » de 20 mètres de haut est un spectacle printanier. Le pont rouge des gorges de Kurobe, les villages gassho-zukuri de Gokayama et les calamars lucioles bioluminescents de la baie de Toyama complètent une destination où mer et montagne se rencontrent.

7 spots
