21Toyama City in August
Toyama Through the Seasons
August, the hottest month of the year in Toyama City, is the perfect time to avoid overexertion during the day and instead combine sightseeing during cooler hours with visits to indoor spots.
Even on clear summer days, the Tateyama mountain range is often shrouded in haze, but sometimes the outline of the mountains can be faintly seen through breaks in the clouds. Enjoy waterside leisure activities such as swimming at the beach, and in the evenings, take center stage to "refresh yourself" with fireworks and summer events.
In addition to seasonal experiences such as grape picking and sunflower field tours, you can also enjoy seasonal delicacies like Kureha pears, Tsubaiso (a type of edible plant), and rock oysters.
