Kurobe Gorge

March 26, 2026

Kurobe Gorge is Japan's deepest V-shaped gorge, located in Toyama Prefecture's Northern Alps. Famous for the Kurobe Gorge Railway trolley train, it features stunning scenery, over 40 tunnels, 20 bridges, and secluded hot springs like Kuronagi. Operations generally run from April to November, with peak autumn colors in late October to early November. It flows down 86km in length and 3,000m in elevation. The bright red Shin Yamabiko Bridge marks the entrance to the Kurobe Gorge. With a length of 166 meters, it is the longest bridge to span the Kurobe River. The area was designated the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park.
