Catching Snow in Late April

Snow mountain in late April? That's not impossible. You just have to book a flight to Japan. Have you ever heard about Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in Toyama Prefecture? Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a stunning route in every season, through Mount Tateyama in the Northern Alps and traversed by various types of transportation such as cable cars, trolley buses, and ropeways. It's ussually started open in mid of April when the snow is still fresh and thick. Eventhough it's already Spring season in throughout Japan, but if you're planning to go to Tateyama Alpine Route, you have to prepare your winter coat. As the weather is still too cold. When I've been there, it was -2ºC, meanwhile the weather in Tokyo was about 16ºC. The breathtaking view will makes you don't want to leave this place. #awesomepic #mytripvlog #tripblazers #japan #tateyamakurobealpineroute #tateyama

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

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 Alpine Route

#wheretogo The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in Japan is a mind-blowing adventure through the heart of the Japanese Alps. It's not just a regular trip; it's like stepping into a postcard-worthy wonderland. You start in Tateyama and hop on a bunch of cool rides, like cable cars and trolley buses, each offering jaw-dropping views of the rugged mountains, lush valleys, and dense forests. Now, here's the real showstopper – the massive snow walls! If you go in the spring, you'll be walking amidst these colossal snow corridors, some taller than two-story buildings. It's like something out of a fantasy movie and a perfect Instagram moment. But, a little heads up, it can get pretty packed during the high season. So, plan your visit accordingly. Despite the crowds, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a must-do for anyone who loves nature and a bit of adventure. It's a visual feast and an incredible way to experience the Japanese Alps in all their glory.

Enjoy deep snöw mountain🏔

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine is wonderful scenery, you can see nature 😊 The opening schedule is fixed from April to November, and what you can experience at each time will change. Please note that the famous Yuki-no-Otani and Kurobe Dam discharge water only at certain times. Spring with lingering snow, summer with abundant vegetation and animal encounters, autumn with beautiful autumn leaves, I think you can have a wonderful experience in any season. This is my second visit , is very recommended to visit here and don't forget to bring sunglasses to avoid the brightness of snow and sun shine.

Somewhere in Japan 🇯🇵
