This video, titled is a promotional video for Kuronagi onsen called "[Official] A Hidden Hot Spring in Kurobe Canyon, Kurobe｜Kuronagi Onsen, Drone 4k" ([公式]黒部峡谷の秘湯 黒薙温泉旅館　ドローン4K), was created by "[Official] Kuronagi Onsen Ryokan."

It has been said that Kuronagi Onsen was discovered in 1645 by Tarozaemon who lived in what is now Kurobe City, Toyama Prefecture.
The Okukurobe area was an important trading center as it was connected to Echigo and Shinano, but the Kaga Domain at the time forbade entry to Kuronagi Onsen and did not inform the surrounding areas of this as it was a valuable therapeutic spa.
However, residents in the area around the hot spring got wind of the hot springs' existence and often went to the hot springs in secret, and were frequently censured by the clan.
It was finally opened to the public in the mid-twentieth century, thanks to the construction of a railway for power supply development along the Kurobe River.

The video shows an aerial view of Kuronagi Onsen Ryokan surrounded by nature with amazing 4K quality.
