📍 Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art

(Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art and Design / TAD) — Toyama, Toyama City

Opened in 2017 on the west bank of Kansui Park, this cultural spot brings together art and design. The architectural design was overseen by Hiroshi Naito, and the all-glass walls offer a panoramic view of the Tateyama mountain range, a "masterpiece of nature." It's an experience that goes beyond just "seeing" art: it's one that "feels" it.
