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.

Toyama Kurobe-shi Kurobe Okuyama Kokuyurin

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 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.
