Notes for the two tunnel trolleybus lines:
- The 6.1 km Kanden Tunnel Trolleybus line operated almost entirely in tunnel, through a mountain, and connected Ōgizawa Station with Kurobe Dam, for tourists and hikers. The transport service continues to operate, but no longer uses trolleybuses. Ōgizawa Station is in Ōmachi city, Nagano Prefecture.
- The affiliated 3.6 km Tateyama Tunnel Trolleybus line, similarly, operates entirely in tunnel and connects Daikanbo with Murodō. The line is located in Tateyama town, Toyama Prefecture.
Both lines are part of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. This passes through Chūbu-Sangaku National Park (also known in English as "Japan Alps National Park").
