Overview

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Japan's most spectacular mountain landscapes via historic trolley trains.
Board the historic Black Valley Gorge Railway, built in 1953, as it winds along dramatic cliff faces beside the emerald Kurobe River. Watch for wild monkeys in their natural habitat while enjoying breathtaking alpine scenery.
The highlight awaits at Nekomata Station—Japan's only railway station with “cat” in its name! During the 20-minute stop, capture incredible photos against towering peaks and deep gorges. This special limited service makes your visit truly exclusive.
Return to explore Unazuki Onsen's charming hot spring town with four free foot baths offering stunning mountain valley views. This isn't just sightseeing—it's an authentic journey through untouched Japanese wilderness accessible only by this remarkable mountain railway.
