Board the open-air trolley train and experience approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes of spectacular railway travel through the gorge
About this spot
The starting station of the trolley train that traverses one of Japan's deepest V-shaped gorges. Once aboard the windowless open-air cars, you'll immediately cross a red iron bridge with the emerald-green Kurobe River spreading below. As the train passes through successive tunnels and crosses bridges, excited cheers ring out—an unforgettable experience for young train enthusiasts. Originally built to transport materials for power development, riding while pondering this history adds another layer of appreciation.
Tips
Seats are reserved and often fully booked during peak seasons, so advance reservation is recommended. The open cars experience strong winds while moving, so even in summer, bring a light jacket or shawl. Operating periods and sections change seasonally and with weather conditions, so check the official website for the latest information before departure.
