Kurobe is a city in Toyama Prefecture on the Sea of Japan coast, best known as the gateway to Unazuki Onsen — Toyama's largest hot spring resort — and the spectacular Kurobe Gorge. The Kurobe Gorge Railway takes visitors through one of Japan's deepest V-shaped valleys, while the Kurobe-Unazuki Canyon Route connects to the famous Kurobe Dam via the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route.
Property in Kurobe offers proximity to world-class onsen, mountain scenery, skiing at nearby resorts, and fresh seafood from Toyama Bay. The city is connected to Tokyo in under 3 hours via the Hokuriku Shinkansen (Kurobe-Unazukionsen Station). With prices starting from ¥100,000, Kurobe is one of the most affordable places to own property near a major onsen town.
