About This Destination

A reconstructed castle keep in central Toyama that houses the Toyama Municipal Folk Museum on the site of the historic Toyama Castle.

Toyama Castle stood in the centre of present-day Toyama from the 16th century and was long associated with the Maeda family's Toyama domain. The original buildings were lost over time, and the current keep is a reinforced-concrete reconstruction completed in 1954. It houses the Toyama Municipal Folk Museum, which covers the history of the castle and the city, and the upper floor gives views over the surrounding castle park. The grounds, Toyamajo-shi Park, include stone walls, a moat, and a Japanese garden. The castle is about a ten-minute walk from Toyama Station or two minutes from the Kokusai-Kaigijo-mae tram stop. Admission to the museum is charged for adults, while high school students and younger enter free.
