The castle tower, which is the center of Toyama Castle, boasts one of the highest heights in Toyama City. From the tower, you can overlook the city of Toyama, the Sea of Japan, and the Tateyama Mountain Range, feeling as if you were a lord. However, in fact, there was no castle tower in Toyama Castle during the Edo period. It was built as a symbol of earthquake recovery in conjunction with the Toyama Industrial Exhibition held in 1954. After the exhibition, it has been active as a museum introducing the local history and as an observatory overlooking the city.
