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

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

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.

Every spring, Japan's Kurobe Tateyama becomes a dream destination for travelers from around the world. This time, I took the opportunity to visit shortly after the opening of Kurobe Tateyama, stepping into this white wonderland renowned for its magnificent Snow Corridor, and experiencing the breathtaking beauty of nature and spring snow. Spectacular Snow Corridor: The Awe-Inspiring White Passage Kurobe Tateyama is most famous for its 14-meter-high Snow Corridor, a marvel created by snowplows clearing the winter snow at the start of the season. Walking along the Snow Corridor, the towering snow walls on both sides resemble white fortresses built by giants, making one feel small in comparison. Since I visited during the early season, the snow walls were at their peak height, sparkling under the sunlight, contrasting with the blue sky and light clouds, creating a fairy-tale-like world. I couldn't help but stop and touch the cold, solid snow walls, feeling the chill and thickness as if touching the heartbeat of nature. Changing Weather: Experiencing the Mystery of Alpine Spring The weather in Tateyama is highly variable. At one moment, we were basking in the sunlight, and the next, we were shrouded in mist. When the mist rose, the entire Snow Corridor seemed to be covered with a thin veil, adding a mysterious atmosphere. As the sunlight pierced through the clouds again, the distant Tateyama peaks revealed themselves, the snow-capped mountains reflecting the sunlight, breathtakingly magnificent. Tateyama Highland Bus and Kurobe Dam: Surprises Along the Way From Murodo, we took the Highland Bus down the winding mountain road, with the scenery outside the window being astonishing. The freshly melted snow formed countless small streams, flowing down from the mountain peaks, contrasting sharply with the greenery of the mountains. Next, I arrived at the Kurobe Dam. The snow around the dam had not yet completely melted, with the white snow and blue lake surface creating a unique beauty. Walking along the dam, one can feel the perfect combination of this man-made marvel and natural scenery. 💞 Recommended Reason: Magical Experience of Kurobe Tateyama Under Spring Snow The opening season of Kurobe Tateyama is a wonderful adventure of snow, weather, and magnificent mountain scenery.
