JR黒部宇奈月温泉駅➡️徒歩2分富山地方鉄道　新黒部駅➡️🚃宇奈月温泉駅➡️ 徒歩2分　黒部渓谷鉄道　宇奈月駅へトロッコ列車に乗るのは黒部渓谷鉄道の宇奈月駅です。間違いが多いので⚠️ チケットは事前購入がおすすめ。季節や時間帯で大混雑します。往復2820円。リラックス車両はプラス600円です。現在は「猫又駅」での折り返し運転中。猫又駅まで🚾休憩無し約70分事前に済ませておきましょう。トンネルや木々の間を抜け。ダム建設の方が冬季に歩いて通う「冬季歩道」と並走したり(何と6時間もかけて歩いて向かうそうです😳皆様　電気は大切に使いましょう✨) 途中の見どころでは　ゆっくりと走ってくれるので📸遊園地みたいな走りです🙄😉 猫又駅は　日本で唯一「猫」の字がつく駅🙀 🐱好きならぜひ🐾🐾 皆様頑張って復旧作業中。折り返し運でも観光の方をおもてなししたいと　フォトスポットや展望台を作ったり色々頑張ってくださっています。列車が出発する時も手を👋お見送り🐾👋 皆様も　ぜひ足をお運び下さい😊 トロッコの駅には売店やレストランもあります。

以前から乗ってみたかったトロッコ列車、ようやく黒部で実現しました。現在は災害の影響で欅平ではなく猫又駅までの往復運転となっていました。当日は残念ながら曇りと霧で必ずしも良い天気ではありませんでしたが、紅葉の始まりが感じられ猿のお出迎えと猫の字がつく唯一の駅ではボランティアの方がこの地の説明をし、何より富山出身の室井滋さんの車内放送が約1時間30分の旅を楽しくさせてくれました。また、観光地ではありますが現在もダムや川のメンテナンスを行っている事にも感心させられました😊

黒部峡谷を感じたくて伺いました、初日は残念ながら雨、日程を変えて富山市内な高岡や氷見をぶらぶら観光して、晩に宇奈月温泉で1泊、翌日快晴でした、さてメインのトロッコ列車です。事前予約がおすすめですが、当日券でも充分乗れます、今は全コース乗れるわけでなく半分くらいで折り返し運転になるのですが、峡谷にある景色や自然は充分に楽しめます。いくつかのトンネルやダム、特徴のある鉄橋もいくつかあり、温泉もあります。ガラス付きの車両と窓なしのTheトロッコのような車両がありますが、自然を感じるならノーマルの窓ないの車両でしょうね。鳥のさえずり、水の流れる音、何をとっても都会暮らしの普段からは感じられない自然、とても良かった。今度は黒部ダム側へいきたいですね追伸…ニュース見て焦った 1週間後の雨で山崩れして鉄道のトンネルが1部塞がったとか、ちょうどトロッコに乗ってる時間帯だったんだよな。だれも巻き込まれなかったらしく、不幸中の幸いでした。鉄道会社さん、大変ですが復旧作業よろしくお願いします。
