History

Kuronagi Station serves the Kurobe Gorge Railway main line in Kurobe, Toyama Prefecture. The line through the site originated in 1927 as a dedicated freight railway built by Nippon Electric Power to support the Yanagawara hydroelectric plant; the station then opened to passengers on 16 November 1953 as Atobiki Station (後曳駅) under Kansai Electric Power. It was later renamed Kuronagi, and on 4 May 1971 it passed to the newly formed Kurobe Gorge Railway, which began operations on 1 July of that year. The station perches on a steep gorge above the Kuronagi River, with its platform partly resting on the 60-metre-high Atobiki Bridge.

Notes

A short trail from the station leads to Kuronagi Onsen, whose hot-spring water is piped down the gorge to supply the better-known Unazuki Onsen at the line's terminus.
