Around Toyama Station, there is the Fugan Canal Kansui Park Toyama, which can be reached in about 10 minutes on foot from the north exit of Toyama Station. You can also visit the museum with this park, but since it is a large park, you may want to rent a bicycle to get around. If you have a car, you may want to extend your trip to Takaoka City.
Takaoka City is the birthplace of Fujiko F. Fujio, and there are many things to see and do in the city, including galleries. Although it is a bit far from the city, Kaioumaru Park and Ameharu Beach are also good sightseeing spots.
