Imizu City, which boasts the full range of natural environments in Toyama Prefecture, including the sea, hills, and rivers, is compact in size yet condensed throughout the region. Due to its convenient location, it has developed as a major transportation hub and is an important access point for travel across the Sea of Japan. Imizu City's industry revolves around fishing. Its main specialties are seafood, including crab, firefly squid, sweetfish, and salmon. There are also great spots to learn about the city's historical culture, such as Tottori Village and the Kushida Shin Ruins. The lively Twinkle Night in Imizu event is held every year. It is a large-scale event that lights up the entire region with illuminations.
