Fully open last year in 2017, the TAD or Toyama Museum of Art and Design is a fantastic place for locals and for visitors alike.
It was built as part of a comprehensive urban development project and almost part of the Kansui Park, which means the park of water in cycles.
The former canal which lost its original objective of transportation was on the verge of being dismantled but someone who saw the real significance of the canal (amazingly a government official who was knowledgeable of canals and had been fascinated by how they could be used for enhancing the community life style) advised the city to stop it. Locals had to discuss the matter and had to be far-sighted. Then the city of Toyama finally decided on the very wise development project. The locals must be very proud of their decision now.
The Starbucks known to be at the most scenic place stands on the premises of the park, overlooking the canal. People hang out on the outside deck. The sunset seen from there is said to be fantastic.
