It’s really close to the city center. You can get there in under an hour, which makes it way more convenient than Narita.
The whole airport feels very clean and polished. The attention to detail at Japanese airports is honestly hard to beat.

Kappa Bridge
The Kappa Bridge used to be a wooden drawbridge overhanging both banks of the river. In 1910, it became a suspension bridge. The current bridge is the fifth generation of the suspension type, which was renovated in 1997. This beautiful larch tree bridge, 3.1m wide and 36.6m long, has long been a symbol of Kamikochi.
The river was unbelievably clear, and with the snowy mountains in the distance, the view was so beautiful it looked like a computer wallpaper.

Kurobe Dam
Standing 186 meters tall, Kurobe Dam is Japan's tallest and one of the largest dams in the world. It took seven years and the efforts of over 10 million workers to overcome numerous challenges, earning it the title of a "monumental project of the century" at the time of its construction.
This was my first time at Kurobe Dam. The mountain scenery around it was gorgeous, and the massive dam gave it that hidden-gem feel Japan does so well. Definitely worth making a special trip for.

Tateyama Kurobe Snow Valley Festival
Located near Murodo, known for its heavy snowfall, the "Otani" area boasts abundant snow accumulation, with depths approaching 20 meters. This area is part of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, a world-renowned mountain sightseeing route featuring peaks exceeding 3,000 meters in elevation. Every year from April to June, the Tateyama Kurobe Snow Valley Festival takes place, centered around the Otani area.
I’d been wanting to make a pilgrimage to the Tateyama Kurobe Snow Valley Festival for a long time, and seeing it in person was way more impressive than in photos. The snow walls feel really overwhelming up close, but they’re absolutely stunning.
