## History

The north entrance in April 1987 Toyama Station shops

Toyama Station opened on 20 March 1899.[2] With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.[2]

From 14 March 2015, the station was served by the high-speed Hokuriku Shinkansen following the opening of the extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, providing direct services between Tokyo and Kanazawa.[3][4]
