Toyama by train
From Tokyo Station, Toyama can be reached by taking the Joetsu Shinkansen (Tanigawa, Max Tanigawa, Toki or Max Toki) to Echigo-Yuzawa (越後湯沢) and then transferring to the Hakutaka (はくたか) limited express train for the run to Toyama. This ride lasts about 3 1/2 hours with a good connection in Echigo-Yuzawa, and it costs �11900 each way. Japan Rail Pass holders have to pay �1450 each way for the portion of the trip between Echigo-Yuzawa and Naoetsu, which is operated by Hokuetsu Railway. The JR East Rail Pass covers the Echigo-Yuzawa - Naoetsu segment, but does not cover the portion onward to Toyama; the full fare must be paid (�4200).
The journey from Tokyo will be reduced dramatically with the extension of the Hokuriku (Nagano) Shinkansen to Toyama in 2012.
Frequent Thunderbird (サンダーバード) limited express trains run to Toyama from Osaka and Kyoto in Kansai. The one-way ride from Osaka lasts around 3 hours on the fastest service and costs �8690 (No charge for Japan Rail Pass holders).
Toyama is also a morning stop on the Twilight Express (トワイライトエクスプレス) overnight train from Sapporo, and Nihonkai (日本海) overnight train from Aomori.
