We will visit a ryotei (Japanese-style restaurant) that has been in business for more than 100 years. 
The proprietress will explain the history of Toyama Higashi Yukaku, where more than 50 geisha were once employed, and take you on a tour of the building.

Performers will perform folk songs such as “Ecchu Owara-bushi” and Japan's oldest folk song “Kokirikobushi” exclusively for tour guests.

Guests will enjoy kaiseki cuisine using seasonal ingredients that have been loved by the people of Toyama.

Enjoy Toyama's sake, whiskey, wine, and other beverages along with kaiseki cuisine and folk music performances.

We will also stop at “Enmei Jizo no Reisui,” a spring water that is believed to be sacred by the local people.

To learn about the relationship between Toyama's pharmaceutical industry and the candy industry, we will visit a candy store that has been in business for 350 years.

※We are closing on Wednesdays, so we won't be stopping by.

This long-established apothecary is the only store in Japan where you can enjoy the experience of making pills. 
This store carries on the tradition of Wakan-yaku.

The city of Toyama flourished around Toyama Castle. A large river called Jinzu River used to flow through the north side of the castle, and the castle town spread out on the south side of the castle, where the “medicine business” has flourished since the Edo period.
As a result, many people had jobs related to medicine.
During the tour, you will enjoy the changes in the town using old maps.
