13Toyama City in April
Toyama Through the Seasons
In April, as the air in Toyama City changes to that of spring, cherry blossoms adorn various parts of the city, including along the Matsukawa River, and it's a season when you can enjoy the contrast with the Tateyama mountain range, which is still covered in snow.
With the opening of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and the excitement of the All Japan Chindon Contest, the lifting of the ban on white shrimp fishing will also bring a taste of spring to the season.
