From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kurobe Gorge (黒部峡谷, Kurobe-kyokoku) is a canyon near Kurobe, Toyama Prefecture, Japan.
The Kurobe Dam in Kurobe Gorge is one of highlights of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. The area was designated the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park on December 4, 1934.[1]
Shimonoroka, or lower corridor,[citation needed] is the central Kurobe Gorge.
Shimonoroka can be accessed by using the Nichiden hodo (Nichiden Trail) or Suihei hodo (Horizontal Trail). These trails are very dangerous; they can be only 20–50 cm wide and lie 500 m above the riverbed. In October 2019, five people died on the trails.[2]
Kaminoroka means Higher corridor.[citation needed]
The gorge can be accessed by the Kurobe Gorge Railway.
