Unazuki: Kurobe Gorge Trolley Train and a Stroll Through the Hot Spring Town
Departing from Unazuki (宇奈月) in Toyama, this is a trolley-train journey that captivates train-loving kids and adults alike. Ride through the spectacular scenery of Kurobe Gorge (黒部峡谷) in an open-air carriage with no windows, then take a gorge walk from the remote terminus station of Keyakidaira (欅平) to the Special Place of Scenic Beauty of Sarutobikyo (猿飛峡). Back in Unazuki, learn the story of how the trolley train came to be at the free-admission Kurobegawa Electric Memorial Museum (黒部川電気記念館), then finish with a relaxed stroll through the steamy hot-spring town. A day full of riding, walking, and learning that the whole family can enjoy.
