Toyama Prefecture will launch Kurobe-Unazuki Canyon Route tours on October 2.
One example of a two-night, three-day tour includes round-trip travel between Tokyo Station and Toyama Station in Green Car class on the Hokuriku Shinkansen, followed by a journey from Kurobe Dam to Keyakidaira via the Canyon Route and the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Travel between Keyakidaira and Unazuki will be by the Kurobe Gorge Railway trolley train, with overnight stays in Toyama City and Unazuki Onsen. The itinerary includes Zuiryu-ji Temple, Amaharashi Coast, and a stroll around Unazuki Onsen. A specialist guide will conduct a pre-tour briefing at Kurobedaira.
The start of public access and the sale of travel packages had initially been announced for June 30, 2024. However, in light of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake and rockfall damage to the Kanetsuri Bridge of the Kurobe Gorge Railway, the launch of the tours was rescheduled to October.
Tour operators include the JTB Group, Nippon Travel Agency, Hankyu Travel International, and Kinki Nippon Tourist. An opening ceremony will be held at Selene, the Kurobe City Art Creation Center, on September 30, followed by a departure ceremony and other events at Unazuki Station of the Kurobe Gorge Railway on October 1.
