Toyama is such an underrated city. Our guide walked us through Toyama Kirari, that striking glass-and-wood building by Kengo Kuma, and explained the local history behind it. Small group, relaxed pace, and great coffee stop. Loved it.

Really relaxing tour. Toyama is clean and quiet, and the guide made it feel personal. Kirari's glass building is photogenic and worth stopping for. Good value.

Toyama's streetscapes are quiet and very comfortable. The tour guide's explanations were extremely detailed and also very engaging. The Kirari building is stunning; this city is truly underrated. I recommend it to friends who want to take things a bit slower!

I didn't know much about Toyama before this tour but it turned out to be a gem. The glass art museum in Kirari was a highlight and our guide's stories about the old town were great. Highly recommend.

Perfect little city tour! We loved wandering through the old streets and the Kirari building, and our guide made the history come alive. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

Toyama is very quiet and refreshing, the architecture of Kirari has a strong design aesthetic, and the tour guide was very patient. The walk wasn't too tiring, and I also learned a lot about Toyama's history. It is well worth it.

Peaceful and interesting tour; the guide shared a lot of history about Toyama. The Kirari building is truly beautiful. A bit short, but recommended for anyone wanting to experience a less touristy side of Japan.
