Futagami Mountain Manyo Line
Mt. Futagami, with an elevation of Approx. 274 meters, stands near the border between Takaoka City and Himi City in Toyama Prefecture. The Futagami Mountain Manyo Line is an Approx. 8-kilometer scenic driving route that runs along the mountain ridge. On clear days, it offers spectacular views of Toyama Bay and the Noto Peninsula on one side, and the Tateyama Mountain Range on the other. From the observation deck near the summit, you can take in a panoramic view of Takaoka City.
The ride uphill is really relaxing, with mountain views and little towns outside the window the whole way. When the weather is nice, you honestly can’t help but keep looking outside.
It’s not the kind of place for excitement, but it’s perfect if you want to clear your mind, take it slow, and snap a few very Japanese-looking photos. By the end, it feels like a satisfying little trip.
