Kurobe River

Stunning scenery, very photogenic

The Kurobe River originates in the Northern Japanese Alps — specifically the high mountains above Unazuki and the upper gorge region and flows northward into Toyama Bay. We visited it in the Unazuki Onzen area. Apart from being scenic, they also utilize it too. Currently, they have a section marked off for summer events for children. There are no river rides that I know of, but what they have is almost as good: a sightseeing train that runs along the river through the Kurobe gorge. An experience of a lifetime.
