Begin your unforgettable journey at Tateyama Station and travel through the breathtaking Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, passing Bijodaira, Murodo, Daikanbo, and Kurobedaira before arriving at the magnificent Kurobe Dam and Ogizawa. Ascending nearly 2,000 meters to Murodo at 2,450 meters above sea level, you'll experience an extraordinary transition from lush lowlands to dramatic alpine landscapes in a single day.

Spring (April–June)
Walk through the world-famous Yuki-no-Otani Snow Corridor, where towering snow walls can reach up to 20 meters high. As winter gradually gives way to spring, enjoy the unique contrast of snowy alpine scenery and fresh greenery below—a spectacular sight found nowhere else in Japan.

Summer (July–August)
Discover the refreshing beauty of Murodo, a highland paradise of alpine meadows, wetlands, and colorful wildflowers. Stroll around the crystal-clear Mikurigaike Pond, where the majestic peaks of the Northern Japan Alps are reflected on calm waters.

Autumn (September–November)
Witness one of Japan’s most spectacular autumn landscapes as vibrant red, orange, and gold foliage blankets the mountains. Enjoy panoramic views from ropeways and observation decks around Daikanbo and Kurobedaira, offering unforgettable vistas of colorful valleys, alpine lakes, and rugged peaks.

Late Autumn (November)
Before the route closes for winter, experience the magical contrast of snow-dusted mountain peaks above and lingering autumn colors below. With fewer visitors and crystal-clear mountain air, this is an ideal season for photographers and travelers seeking a peaceful alpine escape.

No matter the season, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route offers one of Japan’s most iconic mountain adventures, combining stunning natural beauty, remarkable engineering, and unforgettable scenery.
