i think cup noodle museum is at yokohama

 

[snap99]

there isnt much at toyama except as a gateway to the alpine route.
You can however take the limited express up to kanazawa on a day trip which is more interesting.

i have been to amanohasidate and i think it is quite tourist friendly. the land bridge is just a short walk from the train station, no issue getting around.
