Uozu-city, Toyama, Japan

The area with the fewest number of amateur radio stations in Japan is "Hokuriku Region" (JA9 area). I got the licence of JA9QZH in 1976 in Uozu City, Toyama Prefecture.

Uozu City is located in the northeastern part of Toyama Prefecture, about 25 km from Toyama City (Prefectural Capital). The QTH of JA9QZH is situated facing Toyama Bay. Uozu City is famous for its Mirage, Firefly Squid, and Buried Forests, which are the three most famous sights.

[Mirage] As Mirage can be seen in Toyama Bay from early spring to early summer, and many tourists visit here. We see beautiful fireworks, when a Mirage of class B or higher appears.

[Firefly Squid] Firefly Squids are normally found at depths of 200 to 600 meters, however, they are still shrouded in mystery. They are born in spring and live only for one year. In spring, they gather close to the shore of Toyama Bay to spawn, and they make the surface of the sea glow with a bluish-white light, which is a springtime tradition in Toyama Bay.

[Buried Forests] We can see the roots of cedar trees, that stood 2,000 years ago, at the Uozu Buried Forest Museum.
