(2005). "Toyama prefecture" in {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|''Japan Encyclopedia'', p. 991|page=991}}; "Hokuriku" at {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|p. 344|page=344}}.</ref> Toyama Prefecture has a population of 993,848 (1 January 2025) and has a geographic area of 4,247.61 [[Square kilometre|km<sup>2</sup>]] (1,640.01 [[sq mi]]). Toyama Prefecture borders [[Ishikawa Prefecture]] to the west, [[Gifu Prefecture]] to the south, [[Nagano Prefecture]] to the east, and [[Niigata Prefecture]] to the northeast.

[[Toyama, Toyama|Toyama]] is the capital and largest city of Toyama Prefecture, with other major cities including [[Takaoka, Toyama|Takaoka]], [[Imizu, Toyama|Imizu]], and [[Nanto, Toyama|Nanto]].<ref>Nussbaum, "Toyama" at {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|p. 991|page=991}}.</ref> Toyama Prefecture is part of the historic [[Hokuriku region]], and the majority of the prefecture's population lives on [[Toyama Bay]], one of the largest [[bay]]s in Japan.

== History ==
{{See also|Historic Sites of Toyama Prefecture}}

Historically, Toyama Prefecture was [[Etchū Province]].<ref>Nussbaum, "Provinces and prefectures" at {{Google books|p2QnPijAEmEC|p. 780|page=780}}.</ref> Following the [[abolition of the han system]] in 1871, Etchū Province was renamed ''Niikawa Prefecture'', but [[Imizu District, Toyama|Imizu District]] was given to [[Noto Province|Nanao Prefecture]]. In 1872 Imizu District was returned by the new [[Ishikawa Prefecture]].

In 1876, Niikawa Prefecture was merged into Ishikawa Prefecture but the merger was void in 1881 and the area was re-established as Toyama Prefecture.{{Citation needed|date=December 2013}}

The [[Itai-itai disease]] occurred in Toyama around 1950.

== Geography ==
Toyama Prefecture is bordered by [[Ishikawa Prefecture]] to the west, [[Niigata Prefecture|Niigata]] to the northeast, [[Nagano Prefecture|Nagano]] to the southeast, [[Gifu Prefecture|Gifu]] to the south and [[Sea of Japan]] to the north.

As of April 1, 2012, 30% of the total land area of the prefecture was designated as [[List of national parks of Japan#History|Natural Parks]], namely the [[Chūbu-Sangaku National Park|Chūbu-Sangaku]] and [[Hakusan National Park|Hakusan]] National Parks; [[Noto Peninsula|Noto Hantō]] Quasi-National Park; and six Prefectural Natural Parks.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.env.go.jp/en/nature/nps/park/doc/files/np_6.pdf |title=General overview of area figures for Natural Parks by prefecture |publisher=[[Ministry of the Environment (Japan)|Ministry of the Environment]] |access-date=29 June 2012}}</ref>

==Municipalities==
{{See also|List of cities in Toyama Prefecture by population}}
Due to the mergers in the 2000s, Toyama has the fewest municipalities of any prefecture in Japan with 10 cities, 2 districts, 4 towns, and 1 village (before the mergers took place, the prefecture had 9 cities, 18 towns, and 8 villages).
