[2025 Tateyama Attraction] Travel Guide for Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route (Updated Oct)

The "Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route" is a scenic route that spans Toyama and Nagano prefectures in Japan, connecting "Ogizawa" Station and "Tateyama" Station. Open from April to November each year, visitors can traverse the mountainous terrain using various modes of transportation, such as cable cars, buses, and trolleybuses. The transportation system here is highly developed, with detailed information and guides available on the official website. Starting from either Nagano's "Ogizawa" Station or Toyama's "Tateyama" Station, visitors can explore the route's popular attractions and complete the journey, including travel and transfer times, within a single day. Before setting off, I had already purchased the "Tateyama Kurobe, Takayama, and Matsumoto Area Tourist Pass," which covered all transportation costs. I began my journey early in the morning, around 6 or 7 AM, from Ogizawa. The route was bustling with tourists. After transferring, I first arrived at the "Kurobe Dam." The dam's structure was impressively massive, and during the "tourist water discharge" (not an official flood release), the roaring sound of water was accompanied by a surprise sight of a rainbow refracted in the light! Walking from the top of the dam into the mountains and transferring to another mode of transportation, I reached "Daikanbo." From the observation deck, I could take in the breathtaking view of the Tateyama mountain range and Kurobe Lake. At that moment, my camera serendipitously captured a soaring eagle 🦅! At "Murodo Plateau," I was immediately greeted by a panorama of mountains over 3,000 meters above sea level. It's no wonder the Japanese affectionately call this area the Northern Alps. Murodo itself is situated at an altitude of about 2,450 meters and is home to several popular attractions, including the volcanic crater lake "Mikurigaike," Jigokudani (Hell Valley), and the iconic Tateyama peaks. This area is relatively flat and features well-maintained walking paths, making it ideal for a leisurely stroll while admiring various alpine plants. I became so engrossed in photography here that I lost track of time, which forced me to skip other attractions on my way down. I rushed downhill and arrived at my hotel in Toyama close to 8 PM. Travel guides mention that if the timing is right, you can witness a unique phenomenon called "three-colored foliage," where the mountain peaks are covered in snow, the mid-slopes are adorned with red and yellow autumn leaves, and the base is lush with freshly tinted green trees. This spectacle is best viewed in early to mid-October. I hope that on my next visit, I will be fortunate enough to experience this stunning sight.

The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is one of Japan’s most breathtaking travel experiences. This spectacular mountain passage stretches across the Northern Japanese Alps, connecting Toyama on the west side to Nagano on the east. Nicknamed “The Roof of Japan,” this iconic route takes travelers through stunning alpine landscapes using a combination of transportation methods, including cable cars, ropeways, trolley buses, and mountain buses. I went there on July 3rd, and there was no more ice, only a little bit left, as shown in the photos. #tokyospots #tateyama #japan #hiking

Standing atop the high mountains, the vast snowfields and majestic mountain ranges unfold before your eyes. This is Tateyama Kurobe, one of the most breathtaking sceneries in the Northern Japanese Alps. The snow-covered peaks glisten under the sunlight, resembling a flawless, pure painting. In late winter and early spring, the iconic Snow Corridor spectacle unfolds, with snow walls reaching up to 20 meters high on both sides, seemingly touching the sky. Walking through it feels like entering a winter wonderland. The Kurobe Dam, with its emerald green surface and ever-changing seasonal scenery, showcases a different kind of serene beauty. Strolling through this silver-white world, with the blue sky above and light clouds drifting by, one can't help but pause and quietly feel the grandeur and purity of nature. This journey captures not just the scenery, but a heart-to-heart conversation with nature.

Let's meet the proof of winter's existence in early summer. The snow walls, tens of meters high, stand on the Tateyama Plateau, as if trying to hold on to the winter that has already passed. 🕘Opening Hours: Snow Wall Season: Usually open from mid-April to late June Operating Hours: 9:00 am–4:00 pm (subject to change based on weather and operating conditions) 💴Ticket Prices: One-way Ticket: Approx.

A film camera will give your photos a unique flavor, or you can bring a waterproof camera to capture the snow while keeping your equipment safe. 🧡Preparation: Comfortable Hiking Shoes (for walking on snow, non-slip soles are a must!) Warm Clothes (even in summer, the temperature in the mountains is still low) Camera (the snow wall and surrounding scenery are worth capturing) Water and Snacks (there are not many restaurants in the mountains, so we recommend bringing some food) Sunscreen (sunlight reflected off the snow can easily burn your skin, so remember to reapply sunscreen) Gloves and Hat (it's reassuring to have these in case it gets cold)

Tateyama Kurobe. Japan Alpine Route. As someone with almost no experience traveling in Japan, I had never heard of Tateyama Kurobe. As for the Alps, well, I had heard of them, but they were too expensive to go. Then let’s challenge the Japanese version. I bought a five-day ticket for JR Tateyama Kurobe, stayed in Nagoya for a quick night, went to Takayama Hida for a meal, stayed in Toyama for the night, and got up early the next day to go to Tateyama. There are hundreds of guides for Japan, but I still feel doubtful when I set out, as if I am going through a level like playing an RPG game. The tram was shaking, and I finally understood along the way that the most beautiful part was the road. Fortunately, there was a blue sky, fortunately, the trees on the mountain were already in different colors, fortunately, the trams and boats that were about to be retired this year were still running, and fortunately, I finally arrived at the black department. #TateyamaKurobeAlpenruto #100WaysToTravel #Train #CableCar

#雪scape Recently, I came to **Tateyama Kurobe** in Japan, which is the core area of ​​the world-famous mountain sightseeing route "Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route"🌄. This route connects Tateyama Station in Toyama Prefecture and Ogizawa Station in Omachi City in Nagano Prefecture When I set foot on this route, the scenery around me was dizzying👀. The spectacular mountains spread out in front of me along the way. When I stood at an altitude of 3,000 meters, the scene in front of me was magnificent. As the seasons change, the natural scenery here shows different looks: flowers bloom in spring🌸, greenery in summer🍃, and red leaves in autumn are beautiful🍂. I'm especially looking forward to seeing Japan's tallest **Kurobe Dam** and the famous **Yuki no Otani**. The snow wall in Yuki no Otani is 20 meters high, which made me feel the wonderful power of nature❄️. The transportation on the route is very convenient. During the journey from Tateyama to Ogizawa, we used a variety of means of transportation🚋. The overall trip took about 8 hours, which allowed me to easily visit major attractions. This trip to Tateyama Kurobe not only allowed me to enjoy the spectacular natural scenery, but also gave me a deeper understanding of Japan’s mountain culture📚. I look forward to setting foot on this beautiful land again next time and exploring more natural wonders! ✨🌄

❄️ Tateyama Snow Wall ❄️ 📍Address: Tateyama, Nakaniikawa District, Toyama 930-1406 Japan 🏖️Environment: The Tateyama-Kurobe Snow Wall is one of the most famous mountain routes in the world, Tateyama. It is located in northern Japan. It is a route connecting Toyama and Nagano prefectures, with a total distance of about 90 kilometers. The Snow Wall is formed by a large amount of snow during the winter in Japan. It can be up to 20 meters high, which can block traffic. The authorities have to melt the snow to allow cars to pass through. This causes the snow on the side of the road to form a wall. People call it the Snow Wall. The Tateyama route is open from April to November and closed from December to early April. The best time to see the Snow Wall is in June (depending on the weather each year), when the snow wall is very high and thick. 🕰️bOpening hours: 24 hours 💰Average price per person: Free #Snow travel #Tateyama Snow Wall #TateyamaSnowWall #Japan travel

1 day trip on the snow wall ☃️ This time, we chose to buy a Pass --> JR alpine-takayama-matsumoto area tourist pass to cover travel between Nagoya, Takaya and Toyama. The main point of this trip is to see the snow wall at Tateyama. 🎟 JR PASS costs 5,500 baht per person. It is recommended to stay in Toyama in the evening before going to the snow wall because on the day you go to the snow wall, you should wake up early to catch the first train that goes straight to the snow wall. 🏨 Recommended accommodation: Toyoko Inn Toyama-eki Shinkansen-guchi No.2 Steps to travel to the snow wall ❄️ 1. Toyama Chiho Railroad: You have to go to Dentetsu Toyama Station to catch the Toyama Chiho Railroad train on the first round, which will leave at 5:18 and arrive at Tateyamaeki at around 6:09. The reason I wanted to go on the first round is because each step of the trip takes quite a long time. There is a queue at every step, and going early is more convenient for taking pictures. In this section, we can use the Pass to enter. The journey takes about 65 minutes. 2. Tateyama station: You have to exchange the JR PASS for a ticket for the Japan Alps route at the front of the station. You have to look carefully at this section because there will be a counter for exchanging JR tickets and buying regular tickets. Be careful not to get in the wrong line. When you arrive, you won't be able to exchange because the counter is not open yet. However, you can wait in line to be among the first to go up. At every step of the journey, there will be a stamp for you to stamp on a pamphlet. 3. Tateyama Cable Car: When you have exchanged your ticket, you will get a time slot for the Cable Car. They will call you for each round. You can go according to the specified round. The journey takes about 7 minutes. 4. Tateyama Highland Bus: When you get off the Cable Car, we continue to the bus. The bus will drive around the snow wall so that we can enjoy the scenery along the way. There will also be a TV screen in the bus to provide commentary. The journey takes about 50 minutes. 5. Murodo: The highlight of this trip is the location of the Tateyama Snow Wall. I recommend spending as much time as possible here until you are satisfied before continuing because this place is really beautiful. And if we travel to the other side, we will not be able to come back. But if we return the same way, we will be able to return to this point again. But in the afternoon, there will be a lot of people. 6. Tateyama Tunnel Trolley Bus: Next, we will take a tram through the tunnel through Mt. Tateyama to the other side, which is Daikanbo Station. It takes about 10 minutes. There is a heater in the car for your feet. I like it very much. 7. Daikanbo: There is a viewpoint on the rooftop. 8. Tateyama Ropeway: It will be a cable car that takes us to see the view and continue to Kurobedaira. It takes about 7 minutes. 9. Kurobe Cable Car: It is a ride down to Kurobeko Station. It takes about 5 minutes. 10. Kurobe Dam: You have to walk from Kurobeko to Kurobe Dam, but it is not far. I recommend walking. It is quite beautiful. 11. If you want to continue to Nagano, take the Kanden Tunnel Electric Bus and then the Express Bus. But if you want to go back to Toyama, go back the same way. And this is the reason why I came early because it takes a long time to go and come back. ⚠️ Warning: Bring sunglasses with you. Because the top is very eye-catching. And don't think it's not cold. It's cold. #100TravelTips #TravelJapanByYourself #SnowWall #tateyamakurobealpineroute #japan #TravelJapan

We embarked on a self-guided trip to Tateyama Kurobe in Japan, traversing the misty mountain regions at dawn. Our excitement grew with the increasing altitude. Upon arrival, the magnificent Tateyama came into view, its peaks covered in early autumn foliage, resembling a natural painting. We walked along the Kurobe Dam, where the clear water mirrored the surrounding mountains, creating a picturesque scene. As we ascended by cable car, the unfolding scenery intertwined with the autumn leaves, presenting a breathtaking view. At higher altitudes, the distant Kurobe Lake appeared like a green gem, quietly nestled among the mountains. Throughout the journey, we frequently paused to take deep breaths of the fresh mountain air, savoring the grandeur and tranquility of nature. The freedom of self-guided travel allowed us to explore at our own pace, without the rush, simply to immerse ourselves in the indescribable beauty.

I bought a local 2 days 1 night tour and went there with my 6yo daughter. The tour was travelling East direction, from Tateyama Station to Ogizawa Station. We noticed that there is lesser crowd if u start from Ogizawa to Tateyama. During this 2-day coach trip, we wander past traditional Japanese farmhouses in World Heritage–listed Shirakawago village and stroll the mountain town of Hida Takayama, aka Little Kyoto. We started from : 1. Tateyama Cable Car (7 mins ) 2. Bijodaira 3. Tateyama Highland Bus (30 mins) (Shomyo Falls can be seen from the bus) 4. Murodo (lunch, stroll, experience the snow wall) 5. Tateyama Tunnel Trolley Bus (10 mins) 6. Daikanbo (the observation deck atop the station or enjoy the view from the second floor) 7. Tateyama Ropeway (7 mins) 8. Kurobe Cable Car (5 mins) 9. Kurobe Dam sightseeing 10. Kanden Tunnel Electric Bus (16 mins) 11. Ogizawa Station. 1433m above sea level. 12. The end of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. We took 5 hrs to complete the whole route from Tateyama Station to Ogizawa Station. The snow wall was by far the highlight though all the other points were very beautiful. The ropeway with 360 degree views of the snow clad mountains on all sides was a beauty. I would highly recommend this to everyone visiting Japan, and especially in April when the snow wall is at its highest point. We wish that we have more time at the Murodo as my daughter loves playing with snow and the walk along the snow wall was very amazing. #newyearadventure #japan

Tateyama Kurobe refers to the peaks of Tateyama that run through 3000 meters above sea level Every April for the opening of the Alpine route, The area will clear the snow from the roads, creating a 500-meter-long snow valley on both sides, so that vehicles can pass through the middle, and also allow tourists to get off and walk, every April to June can enjoy this magnificent beauty Because we came this time at the end of October, there was no snow and no red leaves But just admiring the mountains here, the waterfalls and the Kurobe Reservoir You can feel the majesty of nature, and we were lucky enough to see a rainbow today If you really want to see the big snow wall, you can pay attention to the official website of Tateyama Kurobe, will announce the one that opened the mountain  #Japan Attractions #TateyamaKurobe

#Japan Attractions The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in Japan is a road connecting Tateyama Station in Toyama Prefecture and Ogizawa Station in Nagano Prefecture. It is also a mountain sightseeing route that was opened on June 1, 1971. The route has a maximum altitude difference of 1,975 meters and is connected by a variety of transportation modes including rail, cable railway, bus, trolleybus and ropeway. The entire section is located in the Chubu Sangaku National Park. It is open from mid-April to mid-November every year. Even in the tourist season, due to the altitude difference in the mountains, the temperature difference is often quite large. For example, when I arrived at the reservoir, it was still sunny, but when I continued to move forward and reached the plateau wetland Mituoyuan on the top of the mountain, the outdoors was completely foggy and I couldn't see anything. However, the temperature was at least 15 degrees lower than that of the reservoir. However, there is a hotel in Mituo. It is best to stay overnight when visiting here, so that the unpredictable weather may bring you surprises. #Overseas Travel #Japan Travel #Great Places in Japan #Japan Travel Guide #Japan Photography #Toyama Prefecture #Tateyama Kurobe #Great Places in Autumn #Autumn Leaves #Autumn

Kurobe Alpine Route in Toyama Prefecture I usually don't like bus tours, so I prefer traveling alone, but it's too high if you don't go through it, so I took a bus tour to Tateyama. Because of the high altitude, it was cool even in summer. I was blessed with good weather and was soothed by the beautiful nature. #A secret summer resort #A short summer trip#Amazing view

I recently visited a friend's hometown in Japan, and it left a truly memorable impression. First, I want to thank my incredibly loyal friend for driving me to various scenic spots, including mountains and seas. Driving in Japan has its own insurance policy: insurance covers the driver, not the car, so even if I wanted to help drive, I could only admire the scenery from the passenger seat. I'd actually never heard of that city before arriving, and if my friend hadn't lived there, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to visit such a beautiful place. It's truly a place of breathtaking beauty, with beautiful mountains and rivers, fresh air, and breathtaking scenery. It's a true paradise, detached from the hustle and bustle (though you still have the basic qualities of city life!). My friend told me they go surfing in the summer and skiing in the winter, enjoying the changing seasons and the beauty of nature. For someone who grew up watching Japanese anime, this opportunity to experience the life of a local Japanese person was incredibly cool and moving.

Experience the breathtaking beauty of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, one of Japan's most stunning high-altitude sightseeing routes. Surrounded by a kaleidoscope of mountain landscapes, you can enjoy the majestic and serene nature by bus, cable car, or on foot. In spring, the iconic Snow Wall opens, and in autumn, the vibrant foliage takes center stage, making it a top destination for every season. 🎒 Must-Visit Spots and Highlights: 1. Snow Wall: Towering up to 20 meters during the spring opening, this snow corridor is a must-see and offers an awe-inspiring photo opportunity. 2. Murodo Plateau: A highland area featuring beautiful lakes and majestic peaks, perfect for leisurely walks to admire the sea of clouds and shifting light. 3. Kurobe Dam: A massive and impressive dam with scheduled water releases in summer, providing a dramatic backdrop for photos. 4. Daikanbo Observation Deck: Offers panoramic views of the mountain range and the dam, making it a must-visit photo spot. 🌄 Travel Tips: - Visit on weekends as the route is open year-round but closed on weekdays (Monday to Friday). Check the schedule before your trip. - Bring warm clothing as temperatures can vary greatly, and it may feel cool even in summer. - Be prepared for sudden weather changes in the mountains; carrying rain gear is recommended as fog is common outdoors. - Rest stops and restaurants along the route offer local delicacies to enjoy. - A wide-angle lens is ideal for capturing the grandeur of the scenery, and including people in your shots enhances the effect. 🔔 Important Notes: - Delays in mountain transportation are common, so plan extra time for your return journey. - Some sections require walking; those with mobility issues should arrange transportation in advance. - During peak seasons (e.g., Snow Wall opening), book tickets and accommodations early to secure your spot.

#mytraveldiary Exploring the magic of Tateyama was a highlight of my Japan journey. Think epic mountain views, crystal-clear ponds, and warming up over amazing soba 🍜⛰️ Must-do for outdoor lovers! Top Spots to Visit: 1. Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route 🚄 Start from Dentetsu Toyama Station, take the train to Tateyama Station, then hop on the cable car to Bijodaira. The highland bus to Murodo is a ride through alpine scenery you can’t get anywhere else. 2. Murodo Terminal Rooftop Viewing Platform 🌄 Head straight to the rooftop for panoramic vistas. Clouds sometimes roll right beneath your feet. Super Instagrammable! 3. Midorigaike Pond 💧 The pond loop course is a gentle walk - photogenic and peaceful, with vibrant reflections and mountain backdrops. Food Recommendation: Warm up at Tateyama Soba in the Murodo Daira terminal. Their hot soba soup after a hike is absolute comfort food. A perfect mid-trip recharge! Travel Tips: ✅ Get an early start to make the most of the alpine route’s limited weekday hours. ✅ Dress in layers, even summer gets chilly up top. ✅ Cash is handy, it’s rural Japan and card readers aren’t everywhere. #Tateyama #AlpineRoute #ToyamaAdventure #JapanNature #tripdotcom
