Overview

  • Journey from Matsumoto or Nagano to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in a small group. Travel by tour vehicle to Ogizawa, then cross the mountains by electric bus, cable car, ropeway, and tunnel bus. Walk across Kurobe Dam and enjoy about two hours at 2,450-meter Murodo for lunch, photos, and seasonal scenery—from spring snow walls to summer alpine flowers and autumn colours. Your English-speaking guide keeps every transfer and connection smooth, then returns you to your original meeting point. Alpine Route tickets are purchased separately at Ogizawa with no markup.
