Toyama 1st district is a single-member constituency of the House of Representatives, the lower house of the National Diet of Japan. The district is located in the city of Toyama, the capital of Toyama Prefecture.
In September 2023 the district had 266,166 eligible voters.[1]
From 2012 to 2024, the district was represented by Hiroaki Tabata of the Liberal Democratic Party.[2][3] After narrowly winning the seat in the 2024 Japanese general election Tabata faced criticism for registering people as LDP party members without their permission, as well as coverup.[4] Before the 2026 election he was replaced with Hiroshi Nakada, a former mayor of Yokohama.
