My Japan video for 2019 brings us back to the Chubu region. From Toyama city we travel by train to Ouzu and continue on another train to Kurobe Unazuki Onsen station. From here we get aboard the Kurobe gorge railway (Torokko electric train) – this is where the movie begins. We explore the Keyakidaira walking route in the Kurobe Canyon.
In the second part of the film we travel to Ainokuraguchi historic village, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To reach the historic villages of the Gokayama area we took the train to Takaoka station and commenced our journey with the World Heritage Bus.
The final part of the film brings us to the beautiful townscape of Yatsuo no Machinami. There is a diesel train service to Yatsuo Etchu from Toyama station.
