    Japan’s deepest V-shaped gorge, Kurobe Gorge divides the northern Hida Mountains into the Tateyama Mountains and the Ushiro-tateyama Mountains, and awes people all year round. You can enjoy an electric trolley ride weaving through the 20.1 kilometers of the gorge, a 1-hour 20-minute ride. The hidden areas accessible only through electric trolley are—simply put—astounding.
  • Sarutobi Gorge
    Travel / Tourism
    Kurobe Canyon, Kurobe-shi, Toyama Prefecture
    "This is one of the areas accessible to travelers on the upper reaches of the Kurobe Gorge in Toyama Prefecture. It got the name ""Sarutobi"" from the parts of the gorge that are so narrow that wild monkeys can leap across with ease. A walkway runs to the Sarutobikyo Observatory from Keyakidaira Station, the final stop on the Torokko Electric Railway that passes along the Kurobe Gorge. The tourist season gets busy with hikers who come to see the many highlights like the red arch bridge along the way. "

Toyama Areas

Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
