Kurobe Gorge Tour by trolley train Limited to a small number of people

2021.06.02

A special tour will be held where you can experience the origins of Kurobe Gorge, the dynamic terrain, history and culture. With the explanation of the Geo Guide, I think that the scenery that I had casually felt until then can be felt more wonderfully. In addition, the content can be widely used as a place for learning for children.
