Toyama Canal Kansui Park

At Toyama Canal Ring Water Park, there are about 170 free parking spaces available. The available hours are from 9:00 to 21:45, and due to its proximity to Toyama Station, there is a constant stream of users even on weekdays, not just weekends and holidays. If it's crowded, you may have to use a paid parking lot in the surrounding area, but the recommended one is the "Kansui Park Multi-level Parking Lot." If you use the park or the Toyama Museum of Art, you can get two hours of free parking. It's a hidden gem of a parking lot on the side of the Japanese Red Cross Hospital. Another recommended option is the parking lot of the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art. Here, users of both the museum and Kansui Park can park for free for two hours if they settle the payment in advance. Wouldn't it be nice to park a little more affordably?

The Toyama Canal Loop Promenade Park is located about a 10-minute walk from the north exit of Toyama Station. The area around the station is bustling with development, and there are neatly arranged rows of trees, making it a perfect course for a leisurely walk to the park. If you use a bus, it takes about 3 minutes from the bus terminal at the north exit of Toyama Station. If you go by car, there is a free parking lot in the park, but it is often crowded, so please check the parking information in the surrounding area.

The Tomiyama Canal Ring Water Park was completed in 1935. Factories were attracted to the riverbank, accelerating Toyama's industrial development. Eventually, shipping using the canal fell out of use, causing the river to become polluted and even considered for reclamation. However, in 1985, it was decided that the north side of Toyama Station would be redeveloped, and the Tomiyama Canal was reborn as a valuable urban waterside space.
