The weather on the first day of the opening of Tateyama Kurobe was not too good, it rained all the way. Although the snow wall is only 12 meters high this year, it feels quite spectacular. Since the journey is relatively long and complicated, it is best to join the KKDAY1 day tour, where the professional leader helps us arrange the shuttle time for each journey, so that you can complete the entire journey with peace of mind.
I checked the weather forecast and made reservations before my trip. The bus was convenient as I could board directly. I was able to easily exchange my ticket for a ropeway ticket with almost no waiting, and I was able to board the ropeway without any problems about 15 minutes after the bus arrived. There were still some snow walls remaining at the top, so I was able to take a stroll around. If the weather had been a little better, I might have spent more time admiring the scenery, but I finished my walk and shopping and came down earlier than planned. I ate bread at a station along the way, but everyone lined up at the bakery at once, so it was crowded with people. There were plenty of seats, and it was nice to relax and look out the window. I would like to go again on a sunny day. It's quite far from Takayama. Most of the visitors were international tourists.
The driver was handsome and gave a very thorough introduction to Mount Fuji, and also recommended good food and tourist attractions. Although it was raining, I was lucky to have met such a good driver.
