Toyama Port Observatory is located within Fugan Canal Kansui Park, at the eastern edge of Toyama Port. The observatory is a uniquely designed pyramid-shaped structure approximately 20 meters high, with a viewing deck at the top that allows visitors to enjoy expansive views of Toyama Bay, the city skyline, and the majestic Tateyama Mountain Range.

Though not one of Japan's tallest observation points, it is cherished for its tranquil setting and natural beauty. On clear days, the view stretches across the bay and offers fantastic photo opportunities. The surrounding park includes green space, walking trails, and benches—ideal for a peaceful stroll or short break from city life.

The observatory is especially photogenic in the morning or around sunset, when natural lighting enhances the textures of the sea and sky.
