Last Saturday one of our members and I took part in a study tour of TCA(Toyama Cosmopolitan Association)-Canal Cruise & Port Town Iwase Tour.(Ref. Tour3) This photo is Fugan Kansui Park , about 10 minutes' walk from Toyama station. The Canal Cruise starts from this park.

The middle of the Canal, there is a lock named Nakajima Lock. Our boat entered the lock, and the back gate was closing! You can have an experience of " water elevator".

AT the end of the tour, we visited KOBO Brew Pub. Please refer to the blog of 22th June 2020(2020年06月22日).

This is a Sake bar "Saseki" near KOBO Brew Pub. You can taste about 100 different types of Sake at this bar. Do you know Toyama is famous for rice seeds throughout Japan? Fresh water and rich soil are the key points for rice seeds. And also they are the important elements for tasty rice and sake!

Toyama is facing the Sea of Japan. So we can see the sunset over the sea from Iwase!!
