This creates a large volume of fast-flowing water, leading to Japan's deepest V-shaped gorge over millennia, with a drop of over 2,000 meters.
Ride the Kurobe Gorge Railway alongside the river, enjoying the ever-changing scenery. Witness cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery and clear waters in summer, and vibrant autumn leaves, attracting many visitors each year. (Estimated red maple viewing season: Mid-October to mid-November.)
