Insider tip — Tower no Yu serves Oyabe City on the edge of the Tonami Plain, famous worldwide for its scattered farmhouse landscape where individual homesteads surrounded by windbreak zelkova groves create a uniquely Japanese patchwork visible from mountain overlooks. The Oyabe River flows through rice paddies producing Toyama premium Koshihikari rice, and the Zenkoji-do temple in Oyabe preserves a rare regional Amitabha Buddha triad from the 13th century.
