Shimminato

Shimminato Port, a major industrial port in Toyama Prefecture, caters primarily to cargo ships. While sightseeing opportunities might be limited within the port itself, a short journey inland unlocks hidden gems. Take a day trip to Takaoka City, known for its rich metalworking history and impressive Takaoka Grand Shrine. For a taste of nature, explore the Amahare Prefectural Natural Park, offering scenic hiking trails and waterfalls. Shopping options near the port might be limited, but venturing into Takaoka City allows you to browse traditional craft stores or visit the Takaoka Big Shine complex for a wider selection. Savor fresh seafood dishes at harborside restaurants or indulge in Takaoka's specialty - "masuzu sushi," pressed sushi wrapped in bamboo leaves. Nightlife in the immediate vicinity of the port might be scarce, but Takaoka City offers a few pubs and restaurants for a relaxing evening
