Canal Cruise / Fugan Water Line

A small boat trip through Toyama on a water elevator

From Fugan Canal Kansui Park to the port town of Iwase.
On the Fugan Water Line, you can enjoy a cruise set against the backdrop of the Fugan Canal, a place rich in history and natural beauty.

You can board the boat at Fugan Canal Kansui Park, which is just a short walk from Toyama Station. In addition, there are services that depart from the Iwase area towards Fugan Canal Kansui Park, allowing you to enjoy a "water journey" connecting the city and the port in both directions.

Some of the boats feature modern, advanced designs equipped with solar panels, blending seamlessly with the canal and park landscapes.
While listening to the guidance of an experienced guide, you can leisurely enjoy the light on the waterside and the seasonal scenery.

The main attraction is the Nakajima Lock Gate, a nationally designated important cultural property.
The "water elevator," which slowly moves up and down a water level of approximately 2.5 meters, is a fascinating experience that will surely captivate even first-time visitors.

In addition to the cruise that goes to Iwase,
You can choose from a sightseeing course that circles Kansui Park or a mini-cruise that focuses solely on the Nakajima Lock Gate, which is great because you can use it according to your time and mood.

In spring, a special cherry blossom cruise is held on the Fugan Water Line, allowing you to enjoy the cherry blossoms in Kansui Park. This gentle moment, surrounded by cherry blossoms, the breeze and sunlight by the water, will add a touch of elegance to your trip to Toyama.
