The Portram was introduced in 2006 with the launch of the Toyama Port Line by Toyama Light Rail. In 2020, the Toyama Chihō Railway took over operations as part of a project to connect the northern and southern tram lines at Toyama Station. The Centram debuted in 2009 as part of Toyama’s plan to create a circular city tram line. Owned by Toyama City and operated by Toyama Chihō Railway, it plays a key role in the city’s sustainable transit strategy. Since through-service began between the Port Line and the City tram line, both the Portram and Centram operate across the full urban network—symbols of Toyama’s transit-focused urban revitalization.

◆ Portram returns with upgraded power units and two new colors (Orange and Yellow-Green). Centram also returns, with a silver version now available. Additionally, a starter set will launch simultaneously, making it easy to begin your Unitram layout.
