- Toyama Kurobe-shi Kurobe Okuyama Kokuyurin
- This 34 meter high bridge is found on the walk toward Babadani Valley from the final stop on the Kurobe Gorge Railway, Keyakidaira Station. The solidly built bridge is painted deep red, and the color matches the green of the valley below perfectly. In the fall foliage season, it draws massive crowds. The peak foliage season is from late October through mid-November.

The bridge is next to Keyakidaira train station. If you want to go uphill to Meiken Onsen and Babadani Jigoku direction, you need to pass through this bridge which is currently under minor repair...

- Toyama Kurobe-shi Ikuji Aimonocho
- This portable bridge crosses Kurobe Port, in the Ikuji district of Kurobe City, Toyama prefecture. It was built during the Showa era to allow crossing of Kurobe Port to expand the port, and at first was a full draw-bridge style, but now half of the bridge rotates to allow passage. It's a rare design, and was the first such rotating half-bridge in Japan.

- Yamabiko Observation Deck
- Travel / Tourism
- Toyama Pref. Kurobeshi Kurobekyoukokuguchi 11
- This observation deck is a three-minute walk from the Kurobe Gorge Railway Main Line's Unazuki Station. Located above Shin Yamabiko Bridge, it offers views of the trolley car that operates on the bridge, Kurobe River, and the surrounding area. The picture of the trolley car coming out of the tunnel you occasionally see in posters and other places in the area was taken here. A copy of the trolley's time table is posted at the deck so you can see when it arrives at Unazuki Station. We especially recommend the fall foliage season, which sees many people arrive to take pictures.

- This observation deck is quite close to Kanetsuri Station on the Kurobe Gorge Railway, and offers a view of firn. It has been accumulated snowfall on Mt. Hyakkan slides into the valley and recrystallizes under the pressure to create a solid mass that won't melt even in summer. The observation deck has benches, and it's perfect for a break on long walks.

- Toyama Kurobe-shi Unazuki Onsen
- "This promenade was provided on the road from Kurobe Gorge Railway's Unazuki Station to Unazuki Dam, utilizing the track bed of a former Torokko tram, and is about one km long one way. The ""Shin Yamabiko Bridge"" is a popular photo spot, as you can see the Torokko trains running from the bridge."

- Toyama Kurobe-shi Unazuki Onsen
- This strangely shaped observation platform in Unazuki onsen village offers a view of the Kurobe river. Designed by Spanish architect Enric Miralles, its complex shape supposedly represents birds taking flight into the sky. In addition, the Kurobe river just below, it offers a view of the hot spring town, ski resorts, and the Oharayama Kannon statue.

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.
