Product Info

  • Enjoy the breathtaking scenery that changes with every season at the 'Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route'

The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is one of the world's premier mountain sightseeing routes, cutting through the Northern Alps where 3,000-meter-class peaks stand in a row. It has a total length of 37.2 km and a maximum elevation difference of 1,975 m. Almost the entire route is located within the Chubu Sangaku National Park. By transferring between various vehicles from 'Tateyama Station' in Tateyama Town, Toyama Prefecture, to 'Ogisawa Station' in Omachi City, Nagano Prefecture, you can easily pass through numerous scenic spots and fully enjoy the magnificent nature of Tateyama Kurobe, which spreads out above the clouds.

【Spring】
Available for a limited time from April 15 to June 25! The Snow Wall (Yuki no Otani)! This is a popular season for tourists from both Japan and abroad every year, and reservations can sometimes be hard to get. Because you are on a tour, you can relax without the hassle of making detailed reservations! Enjoy a 'walk in the sea' surrounded by a world of silver on the Tateyama Ropeway, the longest single-span ropeway in Japan!

【Summer】
Enjoy the Kurobe Dam sightseeing water discharge, available for a limited time from June 26 to October 15 (tentative). Early June has a sunny weather rate of over 80%! It is the perfect season for travel. You might even encounter the white-feathered ptarmigan, a natural monument! As the season progresses, it becomes the best season for strolling through Murodo-daira, a flower field above the clouds where alpine plants bloom in profusion! From July to mid-September, after the snow has melted, is the most vibrant season for the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. Since Murodo is located at an altitude of 2,450 m, the average temperature is below 20 degrees even in summer, making it an ideal summer resort where you can enjoy walking comfortably. This is also the season when you can observe rare alpine plants that can only be seen at high altitudes.

【Autumn】

The autumn leaves on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route start a little earlier than elsewhere, usually from mid-September! You can enjoy the spectacular view of the autumn leaves a step ahead of others. The autumn leaves on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, along with those at Daisetsuzan in Hokkaido, are the earliest in Japan, starting from around Tateyama Murodo-daira from mid-September each year! Because there is an elevation difference of 1,975 m from the summit to the foothills, you can enjoy viewing the autumn leaves at various locations at different times. This is a popular season that follows the Snow Wall.

◆ Autumn Foliage Highlight Point 1 / Between Daikanbo and Kurobe Lake: Tateyama Ropeway

◆ Autumn Foliage Highlight Point 2 / Between Bijodaira, Midagahara, and Murodo *Typical peak viewing time for autumn leaves: Early October to late October

  • World Heritage: The Beautiful Gassho-zukuri Village of Shirakawa-go

In 1995, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage site along with Gokayama in Toyama Prefecture as the 'Historic Villages of Shirakawa-go and Gokayama,' where you can still feel the original landscape of Japan. They are called 'Gassho-zukuri' because the shape of the roofs resembles hands pressed together in prayer, and the roofs are characterized by a steep pitch of 45 to 60 degrees to prevent snow accumulation.

  • Atmospheric Old Townscape: Hida Takayama

Enjoy not only the old townscapes and Jinya (historical government offices) from the Edo period, but also shopping for sake breweries and local specialties.

  • About the 'Snow Wall Walk'

- Starting from Murodo Station, you can walk along the snow walls, which are about 20 meters high and created by clearing snow from the road. *Snow conditions may vary depending on the weather.
- The 'Snow Wall Walk' may have its operating hours changed, the course shortened, or be canceled on the day due to weather conditions such as snowfall, dense fog, or strong winds, or due to congestion.
- At Murodo, we will only guide you to the Snow Wall. Since the walking paths in Murodo-daira (towards Mikurigaike Pond) involve walking on snow, we do not allow free exploration in Murodo-daira from a safety perspective depending on the remaining snow conditions.
- Within the Alpine Route, there are specific meeting times and locations for each vehicle, so please pay close attention to the instructions of your tour director (tour escort).
- All vehicles within the Alpine Route are shared with the general public.

【Precautions for participating in the Alpine Route tour】

- Bag: A backpack that leaves both hands free is convenient. Please keep your hand luggage as small as possible. (Large luggage will be transported by bus.)
- Raincoat with a hood: A raincoat with a hood is a must. It allows you to stay dry without an umbrella, so it won't hinder your movement.
- Clothing suitable for the season: The average temperature at Murodo is (9:00 AM / 3:00 PM) *According to the official Alpine Route website
April: 1-4°C / 3-7°C, May: 4-7°C / 7-10°C, June: 8-12°C / 11-13°C, July: 14-16°C / 15-18°C, August: 15-17°C / 16-18°C, September: 11-14°C / 14-16°C, October: 2-8°C / 6-11°C, November: -1-2°C / 1~
- Comfortable shoes: You will be walking on snow around Murodo. We recommend non-slip, comfortable trekking shoes or sneakers.
- Useful items: Sunglasses and sunscreen are useful as the reflection from the snow can be strong on sunny days.

① Day 1 Lunch: Hida Beef

② Day 1 Dinner: Buffet at the hotel

③ Day 2 Lunch: Lunch at a restaurant inside the terminal, which is safe even during busy times or bad weather

  • Depending on weather conditions or other factors, the length of your stay may be shortened.

  • The Kurobe Dam's tourist water release may be canceled due to weather conditions (scheduled release period: June 26th to October 15th).

  • The departure and arrival times for round-trip trains are based on the timetable at the time the recruitment advertisement was created, and there may be a difference of 5 to 10 minutes due to the railway company's annual timetable revision in mid-March.
