Kurobe

Kurobe has served as a municipal centre in eastern Toyama Prefecture since its incorporation in 1954. The Kurobe River descends from the Northern Japanese Alps to Toyama Bay, shaping the broad alluvial fan on which much of the city stands. Inland, Unazuki Onsen marks the entrance to the Kurobe Gorge, where the Kurobe Gorge Railway runs from Unazuki to Keyakidaira; it was originally built for hydroelectric development. Rice cultivation and clear river water remain central to local life, while the coast connects Kurobe with the Sea of Japan.
