    Toyama Kurobe-shi Kurobe Okuyama Kokuyurin
    Located a five-minute walk from the final stop on the Kurobe Gorge Railway, Keyakidaira Station, this walkway is carved into the cliff face of Mt. Okukane. The looming face of the mountain above your head seems like it's going to devour the people walking along it, earning it the name Hitokui Iwa (People-eating Crag). The powerful sight has earned it lasting popularity as a photo spot.

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.
