Toyama Prefecture

Do
Ride a tram that shares the street with cars
Japan's trams, or streetcars, run down the middle of ordinary streets and stop at small platforms among shops and homes, so the ride shows you a city at street level. Buy a one-day pass, get off wherever something catches your eye, walk a little, and catch the next tram. Apart from the line in Tokyo, these are in cities you would visit on a longer trip, such as Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Hakodate.
Do
Rest over tea at a cafe inside temple grounds
Some temples run small cafes on their own grounds, in old halls or on verandas that look onto the main hall or garden. After visiting the temple, sit down with matcha or coffee and a sweet and enjoy the quiet of the grounds. These cafes are spread across Japan and many open only a few days a week, so check before you go.
Do
Feel the wind on a train with no windows
Torokko are open-air train cars with no glass in the windows, so the breeze off the gorge, the sound of the river and the cool air of the tunnels reach you directly. Many run only from spring to autumn, so check the operating days and book ahead.
