Insider tip — Namerikawa faces Toyama Bay, the submarine canyon famous for the miraculous spring bloom of hotaruika firefly squid that glow blue just beneath the surface of the dark water. The Minowa Family House spring warms Namerikawa fishing families after cold nights on the bay, with the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route starting nearby.
