Kurobe Dam Observatory and Rest House

The Best Place to get views of the Kurobe Dam and eat Kurobe Dam Curry

The Kurobe Dam Observatory is located atop the Kanden Electric Bus terminal for Kurobe Dam, and consists of an Observation Deck, a cafeteria, and a gift shop. From the Kanden Electric Bus terminal, you can find a staircase of 220 steps that will bring you up to the Dam Observation Deck. One of the tallest points to view the dam, where you can get a great panoramic view of the entire structure. In summer, when the dam discharges water, you can typically see a beautiful rainbow where the water is discharged.
