The Kurobe Gorge Railway is one of the Gorge’s main attractions. Originally built to assist in the construction of the Kurobe Dam, the railway is now a sightseeing train. Most of the train cars are open-sided with four-person bench seats. Enclosed cars are also available.
The one hour and twenty minute ride takes you 20.1km through more than 40 tunnels and 20 bridges from Unazuki station to Keyaiki-daira station.
The train also makes stops at stations along the route, giving visitors the option to depart and explore. Small stations along the way include Kuronagi Station and Kanetsuri Station.
