Nature and life in Toyama
Nature and life in Toyama are wonderful. For example, rice and water , dwelling and so on. I am just going to introduce nature and life in Toyama.

Rice
Toyama prefecture's main crop is rice. Most of Toyama's farmers make Koshihikari rice. It is very delicious and shiny Koshi is an old name for Niigata and Toyama prefecture. Hikari is bright.

Source of delicious water
Toyama Prefecture is blessed with water resources. The snow that accumulates in the mountains in winter flows into a huge natural dam, producing an abundant supply of clear water all year round. It contains an ideal blend of dissolved minerals that enhance its taste and give it a delightful smoothness.

Spacious Dwellings
Toyama has the highest rate of private home ownership in Japan: 80.4 per cent . In terms of space and overall residential standards, it is among the top-ranked prefectures in the country. This is probably a reflection of the great importance, some might say obsession, that Toyama citizens attach to home.
