Yakiniku Set Meal on Tarajiru Rord?! Kinkai Drive-In in Etsuchu-Miyazaki. 2022

Located in Etchu Miyazaki, Asahi Town, Toyama Prefecture, is the drive-in restaurant “Kinkai.”
This road is famous as the “Tarajiru Rord,” and while they certainly serve tarajiru (cod soup), their recommended dish is the “Yakiniku Teishoku” (grilled meat set meal).
Unlike the typical image of a yakiniku set meal, it’s more like a “pork sauté,” with thick slices of pork loin grilled slowly, making it very satisfying.
They are particular about using domestically produced meat, and the chewy texture combined with the sweetness of the fat provides exceptional satisfaction.
Located along National Route 8, it has a large parking lot and is very popular with large truck drivers. They also offer accommodation, making it convenient for those who want to relax.
It’s also very close to the Jade Coast, and you can enjoy your meal while watching the Ainokaze Toyama Railway trains running parallel to the national highway.

Toyama Chihou Railway Shin-Uozu Station Main Line Trains: First to Last Train on Weekdays 2021

This video shows local trains arriving at and departing from Shin-Uozu Station. It’s a time-lapse video taken from a fixed point, from the first train to the last. It truly captures the atmosphere of a “local line,” clearly demonstrating its role as a vital mode of transportation for the community. Watching the classic trains, formerly used in the Kanto and Kansai regions, leisurely come and go is endlessly fascinating. Trains of the parallel “Ainokaze Toyama Railway” also pass by occasionally.

Note: The camera settings were incorrect, causing the angle to change midway through the video.

Toyama Trams Running Strong on Snowy Days: Front/Rear Views and Approaching Trams 2021

I took a round trip on Toyama City’s streetcar (Centram) from [International Conference Center] to [Toyama Station].

This video shows the view from the back, the front, and Toyama Station. There is no background music. While heavy snow like in 2021 would have paralyzed service, this amount of snow is perfectly normal. The inside of the streetcar was warm and cozy thanks to the heating.
