Our Favourites
Enjoy a private day trip along the iconic Kurobe-Tateyama Alpine Route, with flexible pickup from your hotel or station in Nagano or Matsumoto. Begin at Ogizawa Station and board the electric bus through the mountain tunnel at 11:00 AM. Visit the towering Kurobe Dam—Japan’s tallest and a proud feat of post-war engineering. Ride the Tateyama Ropeway for stunning alpine views, then continue to Murodo at 2,450 meters, the highest point of the route. Walk through the breathtaking Snow Wall, rising up to 20 meters in spring. After 1.5–2 hours of free time to explore, relax, or visit the local museum, return comfortably by private car with unforgettable memories of Japan’s alpine wonderland.
Don’t rush across the dam—pause and feel it. Stand in the middle of Kurobe Dam and close your eyes. You’ll hear only wind, water, and mountains—it’s a moment you won’t forget.
Arrive early, and the snow corridor is yours. The 20-meter Snow Wall is magical at any time, but in the early morning, it’s quiet, untouched, and absolutely surreal.
At 2,450m, the air is different—breathe deeply. At Murodo, take a moment to sit, slow down, and just... breathe. The mountain air feels cleaner, calmer, almost sacred.
Look down—not just up. Tiny alpine flowers bloom where snow has just melted. They're easy to miss but incredibly beautiful and fleeting.
Try the “gohei mochi” at the mountain station. Grilled rice on a stick, brushed with sweet miso—simple, warm, and unforgettable with a view of the peaks.
