Kurobe Gorge Railway Private Tour

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Japan's most scenic mountains by historic trolley train. Ride the 1953 Black Valley Gorge Railway along dramatic cliffs beside the emerald Kurobe River, with chances to spot wild monkeys. At Nekomata Station, the only station in Japan with “cat” in its name, enjoy a 20-minute stop for photos of deep gorges and towering peaks. This limited service makes the experience truly special. Back in Unazuki Onsen, explore the hot spring town with four free foot baths and mountain views. This is more than sightseeing—it's a journey through untouched nature. If departing from Toyama Station, public transport is fine. For cruise port pick-up, please select the “for Cruise Travelers” option.

Full Day Tour to Kurobe Gorge and Unazuki Onsen from Kanazawa

In the Northern Japanese Alps lies a small beautiful onsen town sitting at the entrance of an even more amazing sight, Japanese deepest V-shaped gorge, Kurobe Gorge. On this tour you can experience the great natural beauty of Japan with the small town feel of a popular onsen resort. Your local guide will show you foot baths and healing buddhas, ride on the trolley train across spectacular gorges and finally walk in nature with onsen water rivers. City and scenery, bridges and buddhas, trolley trains and scenic walks, fully enjoy a lesser traveled part of Japan in Unazuki Onsen and the Kurobe Gorge! NOTE: The full trolley train, damaged by an earthquake in 2024, will reopen from October 1, 2026. Until that time, we will compensate for the shortened route by adding a stop at Shomyo Falls, the highest waterfall in Japan.
