Getting to Toyama: There is an airport in Toyama, but it is less expensive and complicated to reach Toyama by train, in particular, from Narita Airport. Participants should first take the Narita Express train (https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/nex/) from Narita Airport to Tokyo Station. This trip will take approximately one hour, and the trains run every 30 minutes. At Tokyo Station, transfer to the bullet train (Shinkansen Line) for travel to Toyama Station. The bullet train will take just over two hours. For travelers from outside Japan, it is recommended to purchase tickets at the train station after arriving in Japan. It costs approximately $150, each way, between Narita and Toyama.Upon arrival at the Toyama Train Station, travelers can choose to walk to the hotel, take a taxi, or use a city tram.
