点评:This trip had been on my bucket list for sometime and in autumn it did not disappoint making a great day out from Toyama.
We took the Toyama Chihou Tetsudo to the start of the line at Unazuki. As it was peak autumn season, we had followed the website advice and booked ahead of time. Picking up the tickets in Unazuki couldn't have been easier - just present the QR code or reservation number.
I'd recommend taking the open air cars. The views are better and by all accounts the relax class can steam up on wet days. There a near constant up-beat commentary on the way up, all in Japanese which if you don't speak Japanese may be an advantage as you could then ignore it! The trip though is noisy in the open cars as the train screeches and careens round tight curves and through tunnels.
The best views are from the right-hand side of the train on the way up and the left side heading back down. The autumn colours were stunning lower down the gorge at the start of the trip fading as we headed further up.
We had brought packed lunches (bentoo) and onigiri for lunch but there are adequate eating facilities at the top at Keiyakidaira. A picnic lunch overlooking the gorge though was just the ticket on a fine autumn day.
We had allowed ourselves two and a half hours which gave us enough time to walk to Babadani onsen but wished we'd had more time to descend below the station to the "foot hot spring." The walk to Babadani was a lot quieter than the train and really allowed us to soak into the mountain atmosphere.
The trip back to Unazuki as the day faded was as enchanting with the blue shadows of late afternoon now hanging over the gorge.
We discovered too late, however, the foot spa in the Toyama Chihou Railway as we waited for the train back to Toyama. If you have 20 minutes before your train back - head to the end of the platform and indulge your feet.
The mountains and that this is mostly an attraction of the Japanese are all part of the charm.
We'd do it again.
翻译:这次旅行已经在我的愿望清单上有一段时间了,秋天的时候,它并没有让人失望,在富山度过了美好的一天。
我们乘坐富山地方铁道到了宇奈月的起点。由于正值秋季旺季,我们按照网站建议提前预订了。在宇奈月取票再简单不过了 - 只需出示二维码或预订号码即可。
我建议乘坐露天汽车。景色更好,而且据说在潮湿的日子里,放松课程会变得更热。一路上有几乎持续不断的乐观评论,全部都是日语,如果你不会说日语,这可能是一个优势,因为你可以忽略它!不过,由于火车在急转弯和穿过隧道时发出尖叫声和倾斜,因此在敞篷车厢中的旅行很吵。
最佳景观是上行时火车的右侧和下行时的左侧。旅行开始时,峡谷下方的秋天色彩令人惊叹,但随着我们继续向上行驶,秋天的色彩逐渐褪色。
我们带了盒装午餐(便当)和饭团作为午餐,但 Keiyakidaira 的顶部有足够的餐饮设施。不过,在秋高气爽的日子里,一顿俯瞰峡谷的野餐午餐只是一张门票。
我们给了自己两个半小时的时间,这让我们有足够的时间步行到巴巴达尼温泉,但希望我们有更多的时间下到车站下方的“脚温泉”。步行到巴巴达尼比火车安静得多,真正让我们沉浸在山区的氛围中。
天色渐暗,返回宇奈月的旅程同样迷人,午后的蓝色阴影现在笼罩在峡谷上空。
然而,当我们等待返回富山的火车时,我们发现富山地方铁道上的足疗中心已经太晚了。如果距离火车返程还有 20 分钟,请前往站台尽头,尽情享受双脚的乐趣。
山脉和这主要是日本人的吸引力都是魅力的一部分。
我们会再做一次。
