Many Hours of Sunshine, Refreshing ClimateMany people have the impression that Toyama gets lots of rain and snow, but between May and October there are more hours of sunshine here than in Tokyo, and even during the rainy season we get many days of continuous sunshine. From early summer to early autumn there is an offshore breeze from Toyama Bay that keeps the climate pleasant.

Few Significant DisastersToyama records the lowest number of fires in Japan, and the second lowest number of perceptible earthquakes. The probability of an earthquake occurring with a seismic intensity of lower 6 or greater is only 0.1‒3%. The crime rate is also much lower than the national average. All of these factors make Toyama a relatively safe prefecture.

Delicious, Fresh CuisineToyama Prefecture has abundant and varied sources of food; from the Japan Sea, the Toyama Plain stretches to the foothills, and is surrounded on three sides by high mountains. Fresh seafood is caught every morning in Toyama Bay, and rice and vegetables are harvested from the fertile land, along with mountain vegetables. Meats produced in the prefecture such as Himi Beef and Kurobe Meisui Pork are highly praised.

Each location has spring water, and you can also drink delicious, quality water straight from the faucet. The air is also fresh, with the atmosphere cleaned by the ample forests surrounding the prefecture.

Excellent Medical FacilitiesThere are several modern hospitals with the latest equipment available and plenty of hospital beds, run by a reliable system of doctors and nurses. Emergency medical response is also advanced, with the shortest ambulance on-scene arrival time in the country. In 2015, a medical helicopter system has been introduced for quick response to accidents or sudden illnesses in mountainous or remote areas.
