You can then alight at stations like Kanezawa or Kehi to experience nature trails. The Onsen town itself is also worth a stroll, offering foot baths, the Unazuki Beer Hall to sample local brews, and the Kurobe River Electric Science Museum to delve into the history and technology of Kurobe's hydropower generation. Yamabiko Bridge is also an excellent spot for photographing trains and the beautiful canyon views.
For a first-time visit to Unazuki, how would you recommend planning a 3-day, 2-night itinerary?
For a first-time 3-day, 2-night itinerary in Unazuki, we recommend exploring the Unazuki Onsen town upon arrival on the first day, enjoying a foot bath, and then checking into an Onsen ryokan for a sumptuous dinner and relaxing soak in the evening.
