The Hokuriku Shinkansen offers a direct link from central Tokyo to Kurobe without the need for airport transfers. Highway buses are available and offer lower prices, but journey times exceed 6 hours. While flights to Toyama Airport are fast, the subsequent ground transport to Kurobe makes the train a more time-effective choice for reaching the gorge and hot spring resorts directly.
