The Kurobe Gorge Railway (Torokko Ressha)

Many visitors come to Unazuki specifically for the Kurobe Gorge Railway.

The departure station, Unazuki Station, is just a 5-minute walk from the Unazuki Onsen town.
This open-air trolley train takes you deep into the mountains through tunnels and over bright red bridges. It is especially popular during the autumn foliage season (late October to early November).

Pro-Tip for Travelers: Please note that there are two "Unazuki" stations: Unazuki Onsen Station (for the town and hotels) and Unazuki Station (for the Gorge Railway). They are very close to each other. Most ryokans in the area are within walking distance of the station, but almost all offer a free shuttle pickup if you have heavy luggage. Just look for the staff holding hotel signs outside the ticket gate!
