I am Japanese and a resident of Toyama Prefecture. Thank you for introducing Toyama Prefecture! On clear days in Toyama Prefecture, you can see the majestic Tateyama Mountain Range, which is spectacular. Personally, I think it is as beautiful as Mt. Fuji and is my favorite scenery. This is a scenery that can only be seen in Toyama Prefecture in Japan. Toyama Prefecture is also famous for its delicious seafood in Japan. Toyama's sushi is highly praised even among Japanese people, so if you want to eat delicious sushi and sashimi, please come! In particular, I personally recommend the white shrimp sushi. All of the places you recommended are not crowded and you can enjoy sightseeing comfortably.
I'm going to Japan in 5 weeks traveling from Fukuoka towards Tokyo in about 22 days. I am so exited. It almost feels unreal. If been trying to go to Japan starting eight years ago, so it is a relieve it is finally happening. My previous attempt was in early 2020.
I’m glad you’ve visited my hometown Toyama! Toyama is an unassuming place compared to Kanazawa, but a hidden gem. Yes, no trip to Toyama is complete without trying masuzushi (trout sushi).
Thanks for visiting my home prefecture! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay here. I know you couldn't possibly catch everything--Kurobe Dam, the hot springs at Unazuki, the beauty of the Tonami plain and the woodcarving town of Inami... etc. But too bad you missed my part of the prefecture--the fishing town of Shinminato, right on Toyama Bay and one of the richest fishing grounds in all of Japan. The 2-km-long Uchikawa river runs from one end of town to the other, and permanently 'parked' at Kaiwomaru Park is the magnificent Kaiomaru sailing vessel. Oh, and I just happen to own Bridge Bar, the only authentic bar in Shinminato, located in an 80-year-old renovated house right alongside the Uchikawa (just about midpoint), with a menu that includes over 80 varieties of American bourbons and rye whiskeys. Tell your friends!😅👋
We went to Toyama on our first trip at the end of September and now this time next week, we will be back in Toyama. Our first trip we took a day trip to Kurobe. This time we look forward to returning to our Inn in Iwasehama. 💕
Visiting Japan has always been a dream of ours! I think when we will finally go there, we will re-watch all your videos to make sure we go to the same restaurants - you seem to find such jewels! XOXO
Greetings from Japan 🇯🇵. foreigner usually visit major cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, however you were exploring all over the Japan, which attract even Japanese people😊. As I see your video, I would like to travel more my country. Arigatou❤.
Thank you! We did the classic Golden Triangle (Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka) on our first trip to Japan, but we quickly realized we prefer the rural and lesser known places. We decided to prioritize smaller destinations on this trip and loved it! I also hope you get to see more of your own country. 😊
After many years of observation, I noticed that Samuel always carries a backpack. If it's not a secret or something illegal, finally tell us what he's carrying there.😂😘
Toyama black ramen is saulty because it's designed to eat with rice. U should visit Himi and TAKAOKA for gourmet tour. U can find so much delicious seafood. Good hotsprings are there as well in Himi.
and forgot to mention. U shouldn't have bought masu sushi inside the station. that's a kind u can find everywhere in japan. there're so many masu sushi shops have been selling ones for generations in the suburban area.
Loving your clips. I find them informative even as a Japanese. Toyama hasn’t been on my radar either but is now on my list of places to visit. Looking forward to more adventures in Japan 😊
That library looks really great! Combining wood and books never fails, maybe because paper is made from wood. I guess we could say they are some kind of distant relatives. :D Joking aside, the library's amazing. Speaking of libraries, 15 years ago, I met one person at a library, and the person's face, stature and, interestingly enough, fashion style are similar to Audrey's.
Toyama surprised my wife and I in a very positive way as well. In addition to the wonderful seafood folks might consider sampling the excellent local sake as well. Just outside the city is famous Kurobe Gorge. We liked it, but the train ride up the gorge is on the pricey side. The Kurobe area has plenty of hot springs.
Toyoma is a lovely place in every season. The Toyoma public library which also houses the glass art museum is beautiful. Starbucks at Kansui park is really nice too. Take the local train for a scenic ride along the Amaharashi coast . From Toyoma, its easy to go to Kurobe gorge , Kurobe alpine route to see the snow walls , Kanazawa n Takayama also. Shirakawago n Shin Hotaka japanese alps is easily accessible by Nohi bus from Toyoma or Takayama too.
Thank you for this video. My wife and I are headed to Japan this Fall. We have been there several times so we wanted to get off the usual path. I think we will add Toyama to our list!
What a great gem of a city that you guys found. Also one of the better videos (all have been great) in this series. Every time I see one of your videos from Japan I really want Japanese food. Great job!
We loooved the food in Toyama! So many unique things to try. The medicinal meal with herbs was super interesting - a very unique experience that I'm not sure we'll ever encounter elsewhere!
This video, without a doubt, reminds me of the great time I had last December in Japan. Samuel and Audrey are totally in tune with Japan's hidden gem, and it's definitely off the beaten path. I am curious when you said the weather can't be like this where we come from. Where is it? Again, I would not hesitate to subscribe to your channel, comment, and share my thoughts. Thank you for putting out such a memorable film for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you guys for the information about Toyama!! We're in Toyama know and pretty much we follow your itinerary. Everything is so good. We have one more day in Toyama and back to Tokyo. Thank you very much!!!
After years of planning searching etc my ideal Japan first trip TOYAMA has never been on my radar so this was esp interesting to me! What a lovely peaceful place I was wondering if accommodation were significantly cheaper on this side as opposed to Kanazawa per say? Just realised I missed last week episode as I was travelling myself … so gonna watch it as I have it shortlisted Thank you 🙏🏼 I’m enjoying it this Japan serie so sooo much Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Ahh, yes, we also wanted to visit the Kurobe Gorge overnight, but everything was fully booked! We were there during peak autumn foliage, so it got busy. That being said, we got quite lucky and managed to get tickets to do the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route across the Alps, so that more than made up for it!
I am traveling to toyama for a work trip and my husband is accompanying me. We will have 3 days to explore before my conference. I see online there are a ton of day trips, but this video looks like there are a ton of things to do city center. It's our first time to any Asian country. Would you recommend hanging in the city or seeing/ doing as much as possible?
That sounds exciting! I would say, give yourself at least 1 day in Toyama and do the activities that most peak your interest - I would make time for the Matsukawa Boat ride. You can then have another day to visit Shirakawa-go by bus, and use your third day for another day trip.
What a gem Toyama is. We had that same experience. You guys went in October. We went in May, a lot more crowded. Nevertheless, it had that perfect balance between that peaceful, relaxed vibe and many things to do that a small city offers ,museums , nice walking paths, etc. And of course, great food. You guys covered a lot of ground. A great choice guys! Hope you all are doing well. Sending you hugs🫂 and Kisses💋 from Richmond, Va. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Hi Jim and Harriet, so cool to hear that you've also been to Toyama. We used it as our starting point to do the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route across the Japanese Alps - that'll be the next video! We're so glad we gave this place a few days of our time. I hope you're both doing well. Sending you greetings! 😊
Such a cool video, keep it up!! I’ve got a question, do you film all your footage it one batch, and then edit it all in one batch afterwards? So like 4 weeks of just filming, and then you go somewhere and edit for 4 weeks. Or do you film and edit the same day and post it the following day?
Good question! We edit once we get back home. Our videos can take anywhere between 3-5 days to edit, so it wouldn't be a good use of our time to try and edit while we're on the road.
We just had very high expectations after hearing other travel vloggers rave about the place, but we found it to be very touristy and crowded. It could just be our personal preference - we hear Kanazawa is a place that people either love or hate. We prefer quieter destinations that aren't as saturated with tourists.
Love them Koi fish!! Too bad you didn't have food for the Koi but you should watch my 2 min Japanese Koi Fish Feeding Time video from 2 weeks ago.. LOL Maybe give it a like LOL Nice video as usual...will be on our travel list for out 2nd trip to Japan in the works....Cheers from Toronto!

We loved Toyama! It's such a green, peaceful and livable city. And the masuzushi was delicious!! 😊
地元ですが 市内は見る場所は無い
海から見る立山連峰
更に日本一旨い 魚介ですね🎌
Toyama is lovely, and that matcha mochi dessert/black ramen looks so delish...Definitely on my to visit and eat list now!
I live in Toyama.Thank you for introducing Toyama.
I hope that many people watch this movie and your channel.

Love Toyama! Such underrated place!
We are just loving your videos and we are watching them from Japan haha
Tha glass bowls ….unique beauty
外国の方が 富山ブラックラーメンを食べているのは、はじめてみました
戦争後の復興の為 暑い中、外仕事をしていた労働者の 塩分補給の為に 濃い味付けになったと言われています🍜
濃い味付けなので白ご飯と一緒に食べられる方も多いです❤
白海老は 煎餅も美味しいですお土産に持ち帰りやすいのでオススメです🦐

You two would conquer each prefecture of Japan in near future!
Haha, that would be a fun travel goal! We'd love to get to see all of Japan.

Camera, spare batteries, water bottles and two umbrellas! 😅
Wonderful mountains
The little castle…adorable!
Lived in Toyama for nearly 20 years. Glad you enjoyed it. It is a great place
Toyama black ramen is saulty because it's designed to eat with rice.

The surprise hits always make for the best
That's very true! I find when we show up somewhere with zero expectations, it ends up being the best experience ever. 😊
Smuel is filming the souo cos it s so picturesque!!!!!

松川の左右わ桜の木で春の桜の花の時期に来ると綺麗です富山駅北裏に水公園があり世界一綺麗な所にあるスターバックスがあります桜の花の時期わ綺麗です
Interesting. We are planning to participate in a pre-school exchange program in Toyama. Looks great there.
Beautiful tower
What a great gem of a city that you guys found. Also one of the better videos (all have been great) in this series. Every time I see one of your videos from Japan I really want Japanese food. Great job!
Aww, thank you! Glad you enjoyed the Toyama episode. This destination was a complete surprise for us.
Surprises are the best!!@@samuelandaudrey
7:35 the dishes that you had looked so delicious and healthy , I had been to Toyama once ,I wish I had the same dishes that you had.
We loooved the food in Toyama! So many unique things to try. The medicinal meal with herbs was super interesting - a very unique experience that I'm not sure we'll ever encounter elsewhere!
次は高岡かか射水か氷見に来てください
We’ve never heard of this place but now we want to visit for sure. Love your travel videos!❤

I am not really sure what to do in our 4 day trip to Takayama next week. This video help me plan a day trip. Thank you!
Thank you!
After years of planning searching etc my ideal Japan first trip TOYAMA has never been on my radar so this was esp interesting to me! What a lovely peaceful place I was wondering if accommodation were significantly cheaper on this side as opposed to Kanazawa per say?

I will be going to Toyama on July to visit family and will be staying there for a couple of months. I really needed this video. Haha
富山ブラックラーメンは塩くどいから、ライスと一緒に食べると美味しいです。
You could show some shops to see souvenirs,clothes,etc
must be fun
I added Takayama to our itinerary after seeing your video, now I want to add Toyama too! Love your videos 😊

After watching the videos from Peru, i have to ask - are you all dine with Peru?
hi,,would like to ask you go from Tokyo or Osaka side to Toyama ? what is the best way to go ?
Such a cool video, keep it up!!
I’ve got a question, do you film all your footage it one batch, and then edit it all in one batch afterwards? So like 4 weeks of just filming, and then you go somewhere and edit for 4 weeks. Or do you film and edit the same day and post it the following day?

@@samuelandaudrey ahh okay make sense, thank you for responding! Much appreciated!
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
is there any particular reasons you didn't connect with Kanazawa as much?
We just had very high expectations after hearing other travel vloggers rave about the place, but we found it to be very touristy and crowded. It could just be our personal preference - we hear Kanazawa is a place that people either love or hate. We prefer quieter destinations that aren't as saturated with tourists.
ブラックラーメンのスープ飲み干すのヤバイって笑
Hola Audrey y Samuel. Que rica comida es la Japonesa.
Ojalá Audrey subas video en el canal en español
Saludos desde Córdoba Edgardo 🍷.
Hola Edgardo, sí, hoy Domingo habrá nuevo video en el canal en Español. Recién lo terminé de editar anoche. Saludos!
@@samuelandaudrey Genial Audrey, 😁
😍😍😍😍
Ok, so now I have to go to Japan twice
Why didn't you go to the Shusui Art Museum?
It's a rare museum in Japan where you can see Japanese swords.
Because we're often not allowed to film in museums. Sometimes we visit them for our own enjoyment, but we can't share them via video!
@8:59: The Toyama Glass Art Museum was designed by a great Japanese architect, Kengo Kuma
Love them Koi fish!! Too bad you didn't have food for the Koi but you should watch my 2 min Japanese Koi Fish Feeding Time video from 2 weeks ago.. LOL Maybe give it a like LOL
Nice video as usual...will be on our travel list for out 2nd trip to Japan in the works....Cheers from Toronto!
I am in Toyama now.
Awesome. Enjoy!! 😊
３月から5月の新月の深夜27時頃行けば、ホタルイカの身投げが見れます。
Has anyone told you? Those cute animals at Hie Shrine were zodiac signs.
What is the name of the black ramen restaurant?
It's listed on GoogleMaps as ガッツリ！えびすこ. You'll see it as soon as you walk out of the train station on the left hand side.
Did you use the JR Takayama-Hokuriku Area Tourist Pass?
We didn't get a tourist pass for this leg of the trip, but we have used them in other areas of Japan.
🙏🙏👍👍
白エビね！！
It would be better the currency conversion in dollars thanks!
ill just warm up a sausage roll from the freezer samuel and audrey
:-)
Strange….don t they have tour guides in english?
No English guides in this place. That's a bit harder to find once you get away from the bigger cities.
I AHALL WATCH YOU THIS AFTERNOON SAMUEL AND AUDREY SO YOU NOW HAVE LONG HAIR SAMUEL.
