Kurobe Gorge

It was a beautiful autumn day yesterday, so I went to Kurobe Gorge to see autumn leaves. It takes about one hour from Toyama station to Unazuki station by car. Unazuki is the starting station of Kurobe Gorge Railway.

It's a miniature Trokko Electric Train and this place has become a photo spot!

If you have time to get on the train, how about strolling around Unazuki Station? Only 15-min walk , you can get to the Unazuki dam.

There are 3 kinds of passenger trains and this is the most popular one. According to the official site, "Torokko Electric Railway's open carriage is a great way to see the Kurobe Gorge". Oh yes, I enjyed spectacular view of the gorge! Please make sure to wrap up warm! Yesterday many people were wearing down coats.

It takes 80 min from Unazuki Station to the terminal station, Keyakidaira. So you can enjoy a lot of beautiful spots.

Around Keyakidaira, the terminal station, there are several sightseeing spots. I decided to go to Babadani hot spring! In Japanese "baba" means grandmother and "dani" or "tani" means valley. About 1 hour-walk from Keyakidaira.

There are 3 tunnels. This is the longest one. It looks nice, don't you think so?

At last I arrived at Babadani hot spring!!I was lucky, because yesterday was the last day of this year. Right bath is for women (like a cottage)and left one is for men.

It was a very nice hot spring! I felt refresh! Of course I had to return to the station on foot…It's worth checking out!
