Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: You would be well advised to take an umbrella with you. Generally speaking, weather in the whole Hokuriku area (Toyama/Ishikawa/Fukui) is unstable at best. I would also advise a rain coat and water proof boots, especially if you’re coming in the winter. The streets have kind of sprinkler system that shoots water, sometimes 3 to 4 feet high, so they can clear snow and ice. The result is a very slushy mess and unhappy pedestrians. You most unhappiest moment will be when a car drives at 50mph covering you in ice cold wet slush.
