Kurobe railway

Hello, we intend to drive from Niigata to Kurobe Unazuki station and try the rail trip.

Please advise whether it is possible to make it in two day one night as I intend to return to Toyoma the next day.

Any good ryokan or inn to recommend for the night in Kurobe gorge area?

If you leave Niigata relatively early, it can be done relatively easily in a single day. Needless to say, two days and one night would be more than enough time.

Google Map lets you look up driving times:

The train trip into the gorge takes 80 minutes one way:

I would recommend Feel Unazuki, stayed here last year, and happy with the service :

Uji-san,

Liem,

Thanks for the recommendation. However it appears that Trip advisor and other does not offer booking at this hotel and booking has to be done directly. Do you have the weblink of this hotel?

Thanks, Liem!

I appreciate the link as it appears that Japan-guide or JapaniCan or others have listed this ryokan.

Have a great day.

Some additional information, Feel Unazuki is in my opinion about 3* hotel. If you are after anything more, this could be not the one for you.
