• Unazuki Onsen - Travel by private bus from Kanazawa to Unazuki Onsen station. This town retains its original architectural charm from when it was established as an onsen resort town a century ago. Enjoy a brief walk along the historic hiking path to the Kurobe Dam. Along the way, experience the scenic beauty that awaits on the trolley train and gain insights into the area’s rich history! Afterwards, enjoy some leisure time in the town and an early lunch. Your guide will recommend some local dining options.
• Kurobe Gorge - Gather at Unazuki Onsen Station to prepare for the trolley train journey.

There are no shops or restaurants on the train, so feel free to bring snacks and drinks to enjoy during the ride. En route, you’ll see the Kurobe Dam, a bridge designed for monkeys to cross the river, a Buddha statue for travelers’ protection, and arrive at Nekomata Station.

Due to the January 1, 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake, the full route of the Kurobe Gorge Trolley Train is currently under repair, with a full reopening expected in 2026. Approximately 60% of the route is open, ending at Nekomata, which serves as a temporary rest area.

The area remains a worthwhile destination! Many key attractions are within the accessible section, and the region is among Japan’s most stunning.

• Unazuki Onsen - Before departure, enjoy some last-minute shopping in Unazuki, visit the renowned “Healing Buddha,” or relax in the footbath, which uses the same water as the town’s hot springs.

Soon, it’s time to depart and begin the return journey. Relax on the bus ride, or take this opportunity to ask any questions about the next stage of your Japan adventure, or even get some excellent dinner recommendations for the evening!

Back at the station, it’s time to bid farewell. We hope you enjoyed the day and wish you a wonderful time exploring this beautiful country.
