Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route
This 23.1-mile mountain sightseeing route cuts through the Northern Japan Alps, home to peaks reaching around 9,800 feet. With a maximum elevation change of 6,480 feet, the route connects Tateyama Station in Toyama Prefecture and Ogizawa Station in Nagano Prefecture via six modes of transportation, including cable cars and a ropeway. Numerous scenic spots can be found along the way, offering many ways to experience the majestic natural surroundings, from casual walks to serious trekking.
This year I took my mom to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route for a little mother-daughter trip. The weather in September was cool and comfortable. Looking at the scenery before us, we marveled at the magnificent dam. Although the journey required changing transportation constantly and traveling to higher elevations, my mom, who is in her seventies, completed it without any problems~
I really recommend the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route!
