What to know
Takaoka (高岡) is Toyama Prefecture's second-largest city. Historically a hub for metal casting, this tradition continues to flourish. Once a castle town, Takaoka lost its castle during the Edo Period due to a law limiting castles to one per province. Located on the Hokuriku Shinkansen line, Takaoka is a convenient stop for travelers heading to nearby attractions like Gokayama.
