Such a breathtaking spectacle is only available for two months each year. This is the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in the Hokuriku region of central Japan, which I consider even more worth visiting than Mount Fuji. It has been on my wish list for countless years, and this year I finally got to check it off. Despite being open for only a few short months each year, its popularity never wanes. The Snow Wall, which I find most enchanting, is only open for two months each year. 📆Opening season: April 15th to June 15th Now, follow me to experience Japan's Alps, and witness the stunning beauty where the azure sky meets the pure white snow walls! 1️⃣The Snow Wall Known for its towering white walls, it is also called the Great Snow Valley. The highest record is a 20-meter-tall snow wall that can only be seen in April and May. It is also a rare sight in other places. When I visited this year, the highest was 14 meters. You can sit on a bus and pass through the snow walls of the Great Snow Valley, or you can stroll between the snow walls (about 200-300 meters long), and experience the unique joy amidst the pure white snow. 2️⃣Tateyama Ropeway The most beautiful sight along the entire Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is taking the Tateyama Ropeway from Daikan Peak to admire the view of Kurobe Lake and the surrounding mountains. 🚠Transportation: Because getting to the snow walls is extremely troublesome, there are not many individual travelers. I will explain in detail in the next article. ✈️International: You can fly to Nagoya or Komatsu from within Japan, and then take a car to Toyama or Tateyama. 🚊Within Japan: From Toyama Station, transfer to six types of transportation to tour Tateyama Kurobe. If you're only visiting the Snow Wall, get off at Murodo Station in the middle. If you want to tour the entire route, get off at Ogizawa Station. ⛷️Dress: The mountain climate is variable, so be sure to check the weather forecast before you go. Shoes with good grip and clothes that are warm and easy to remove are recommended. Choose a sunny day to visit, as the blue sky makes for beautiful photos. If it's cloudy, it will be very cold on the mountain.

Tateyama Murodo Plain, at an altitude of 2,450m, is one of the snowiest areas in the world. In particular, the "Otani" near Murodo receives a lot of snow due to snowdrifts, and the snow can sometimes exceed 20m deep. The "Snow Otani" is a huge wall of snow that is nearly 20m high and is created by clearing snow from the road that passes through this "Otani." #trip2022 #breathtakingview

Ticked this off my bucket list to see the snow walls that are opened to visitors from April to June each year. Visibility was bad on the day we went but the whole experience was still pretty amazing. Joined a day tour to get there and it was quite an experience to walk the trail, even though we didn't get to see the beautiful lake. The snow walls made up for it though.

This place is not just a mountain and valley in the geographical sense🗻, but also a dream world carved out by nature with uncanny craftsmanship, attracting travelers from all over the world to explore㊙️. The soul of Tateyama Kurobe is hidden in those breathtaking snow walls. Every winter, due to the high altitude and heavy snowfall❄️, thick snow accumulates here. The mountain will be closed from November 11th every year until it reopens in April 11th of the following year. When the temperature gradually rises in spring, the snow begins to melt, leaving huge snow walls as high as ten or even twenty meters on both sides of the road. Walking in it, it feels like being in a white time tunnel, with a strip of blue sky above your head and a cold and spectacular wall of snow beside you. Every step is accompanied by awe and admiration for the power of nature. 🏔️Opening time: 2025/04/15 - 2025/11/30. 🚗Transportation Guide: 1️⃣External transportation: 👉Plane: You can first arrive at Nagoya Chubu Centrair International Airport or Osaka Kansai International Airport, and then transfer to other means of transportation to Tateyama Kurobe. 👉Train: Take JR trains from Tokyo, Osaka and other places to reach cities such as Toyama and Kanazawa, and then transfer to Tateyama Kurobe's special transportation. 2️⃣Internal transportation: 👉Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route: This is the main mode of transportation to visit Tateyama Kurobe, consisting of a variety of transportation, including buses, cable cars, trolleybuses, etc. You can enjoy the magnificent scenery along the way, and the scenery of different sections has its own characteristics. 🗻Scenic highlights ✅ Snow Valley: There is a 14m snow wall here, and the huge amount of snowfall forms a beautiful snow scene.

🏔️Tateyama Kurobe, known as the "Japanese Alps", is located in central Japan and is closed for half a year every year. In spring, the locals shovel snow and clear the mountains, forming the famous "Snow Valley", or snow wall. Many people may have seen photos online and mistakenly thought they were from Hokkaido or other places. In fact, this is Tateyama, one of the most expensive tourist attractions in Japan. Tateyama is accessible from Toyama City and Nagano City. Today we will only introduce how to get there from Toyama City. Toyama is the base camp for traveling in Hokuriku. It is a leisurely little town and it is worth staying there for a few more days. ✅Prepare in advance: 🥢It takes a whole day to get to Tateyama, and there are few options for eating on the mountain. It is recommended to bring your favorite food and have a picnic in the mountains, the environment is good and comfortable. 🧣Tateyama is about 2,450 meters above sea level, and the temperature difference is large, so you can bring a long-sleeved jacket in summer. If you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter. There are Montbell and North Face stores on the top of the mountain and they can restock at any time. 🤳It is best to check the LIVECAMER in advance or search on YouTube before going up the mountain. If the weather is bad and it is raining, it is not recommended to go. Clouds and fog are normal, and sunny days are lucky. 🚦Specific transportation: 🚞Go to Toyama Railway Station to buy tickets. Note, it is not JR Toyama Station. Dentetsu Toyama Station is right next to the JR station on the left. 🎫There is a window at the railway station that sells transportation tickets to and from Tateyama Murodo (all transportation included). The adult ticket is close to 10,000 yen, which is really expensive. No reservation is required during off-peak season. 🚟Itinerary: Take the train to Tateyama Station (1 hour), then transfer to the Tateyama Cable Car to Bijodaira (7 minutes), then transfer to the Tateyama Plateau Bus (sit on the left side of the bus) to Murodo (the top of the mountain) (1 hour). 🚌Transfers may seem complicated, but they are actually very smooth and there is nothing to worry about. The plateau bus is similar to the tourist buses in domestic scenic spots. It will stop at designated times to allow everyone to tour and take photos, which is very humane. 👣How to visit: ⛰️After arriving at Murodo, you can start shopping. Murodo is similar to a mountaineering base camp in China, except that this area is very large. The official provides four different hiking routes: ABCD. Each route is marked with a time, and everyone can hike as needed. We chose the D route with the largest loop, which takes 2 hours for one loop, and about 2.5-3 hours including breaks and meals. 🚸These routes basically do not require climbing, there are only some not too high or too long stairs, which can be easily handled by the elderly and children. Feel free to find a place that you feel comfortable to rest and have lunch. It is recommended to choose the lakeside of Yukuri Lake. Finally, return to Toyama City along the original route. During your trip to Hokuriku, you can also go to Tateyama and experience the relaxing feeling of walking in the clouds. #Hokuriku #JapanTravel #JapanFreeTravel

🌟 On the first day of Golden Week, I went to Tateyama Kurobe and witnessed the famous snow wall with my own eyes. The height at that time reached 13 meters, which was really amazing. 🚞 Since I didn't book in advance, I was unable to buy a ticket to go up the mountain from Toyama, so I booked a ticket from Ogizawa at 7am on the official website. The ticket type is a round-trip ticket from Ogizawa to Murodo (the snow wall is located in Murodo), and you can choose other types of tickets according to your needs. 🚍 Starting from Ogizawa, first take the electric bus for about 15 minutes to Kurobe Dam Station, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Kurobe. The reservoir gates are opened in summer but not in other seasons, but the scenery of snow-capped mountains and the lake is still breathtaking. 🚶‍♂️ It takes about 15 minutes on foot from Kurobe Dam Station to Kurobe Lake Station. From here you can take the mountain train and arrive at Kurobedaira Station in about 7 minutes (since you have purchased a round-trip ticket, you don’t need to buy another ticket). 🚡 From Kurobe-daira, take the Tateyama Cable Car for about 10 minutes to reach Daikanbo Peak, where you can enjoy the full view of Lake Kurobe from the observation deck. 🚌 Transfer to the bus at Daikanbo and you will arrive at Murodo Station in about 15-20 minutes. Come out of Murodo Station and follow the signs to the canyon to admire the snow walls. There are two ways to the highest point, one is the highway and the other is a hiking trail on the snow. It is recommended to take the highway on the way there and take the snow road on the way back (or vice versa), so that you don't have to go back and experience different routes. 🏔️ On the other side of Murodo Station is the Murodo Plateau Exit, where you can take a walk around the snow, which takes about an hour. If you are not a professional climber, it is recommended that you do not walk up or down the slope, just go around along the flat road. ⚠️ Pay attention to the time of the shuttle bus down the mountain. 🌡️ Regarding the temperature, the temperature in Murodo is about 10 degrees on a sunny day. You don’t need to wear a down jacket because it is really hot under the snow. Just prepare a windbreaker, a thin sweater and some clothes to protect you from the cold and heat, hiking shoes or outdoor shoes, sunglasses (reflective on the snow), a hat (to protect you from the sun), and sunscreen (it’s really sunny!!). #Tateyama Kurobe #JapanTravel #SnowWallSpectacular

#GlobalTravel #100 Ways to Travel #Tokyo Attractions Very few tours depart from Tokyo, usually Osaka and Nagoya, because Tokyo is really far away by car, almost 5-6 hours🥲 However, in order to see its snow wall ❄️ is worth it! I went in June, maybe the snow has melted some, so the snow wall is not very high 🥹 April may be even better 🤍 I went that day was rain + heavy fog, over 10 minutes high stop Left, immediately went back out 🤣 It was foggy and gray, if it was blue sky and white clouds would be much more beautiful 🙈 But now it's good 😆 Here I think I really need to take adequate measures to keep warm, I most importantly feel cold wearing a down jacket 🥶🥶 The road is not very long to walk out, the snow walls on the left and right are a bit shocking to me🤍

#The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, called the Alps of Japan, is a mountainous region located at an altitude of 3,000 meters. May to June is the best time to travel. Among the Alpine Route courses, the Alpine Route Snow Wall, Mikuriga Pond, Kurobe Gorge, and Kurobe Dam are so beautiful and wonderful that I highly recommend you visit them:) #Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event

#Alpine Route, also known as the Alps of Japan. #Alpine Route, because the weather is really important, I kept checking the dates before going. The bottom of the mountain is summer weather, and the top of the mountain is winter weather, so the Alpine Route, where two seasons coexist, seems more attractive:) #Southeast Asia flight event

#Japan #To get to the Alpine Route, you have to take the monorail‼️ The monorail goes up vertically to 1830M and takes about 5 minutes. If you get off the monorail and go to the left, you will find Kurobe Garden, and if you go straight, you will find the place to ride the ropeway. #Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event

#Toyama, famous for the Japanese Alps #Alpine Route‼️ The Alpine Route is open for only two months a year, from April 15 to June 25. It is a mountain with an elevation of 300m, so it is not accessible by regular private vehicles, so we recommend taking a tour. #Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event

#The #Alpine Route in Toyama Prefecture, known as the #Alps of Japan, is famous for its snow walls‼️ The Alpine Route is greatly affected by the weather, so you can only see it when the weather is really good. Even if you check the weather forecast, it is said that the weather in the mountains is unpredictable, so it is really good to see it just by looking like this. #Southeast Asia Flight Ticket Event

#Toyama #Alpine Route is the best month to see the snow walls in May. When visiting the Alpine Route, it is a good idea to reserve tickets in advance.

1. Address: Yuki-no-Otani, Toyama, Japan Features: The Snow Valley scenery is open every April 15th Rating: It is extremely beautiful. You must go there once in your life to feel the charm of Snow Valley. Photos cannot capture its beauty. You have to experience it in person. It is really touching for people who have never seen snow. It is not difficult as long as you do your homework.

I believe this magnificent view of Mt. Tateyama can only be seen from May to July. In winter, there is a lot of snow and buses cannot enter or leave, but this view can only be seen before summer really begins. Even in Japan, you probably won't be able to see this much snow during Golden Week... If you come to Toyama for sightseeing, I recommend seeing this view. Also, there is a convenience store called Tateyama Thunderbird on the way, which sells rice balls and sandwiches made with rare ingredients, so I recommend that too.

Japan's Swiss Alpine Route... It is said to be a tourist course that is only open for a few days starting in April... The snowy scenery is so beautiful. The snow walls are so amazing. You should definitely go there... You won't regret it.

#May Travel Support Fund Event Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is the roof of Japan. The Alpine Route is a dynamic mountain tourism route that passes through Tateyama, the Japanese Alps. It refers to crossing the 2,400m altitude from Toyama Prefecture to Nagano Prefecture using various means of transportation. As I drive along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, I see the vast nature unfolding outside the car window. Since I saw winter, I have to see the summer scenery next. I look even more scared because I can see a glimpse of snow on the mountaintop. I was also scared on the way from Busan to 富山Busan. As time passes, I realize that the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is the roof of Japan.

#MayTravelSupportEvent The Murodo-bound bus on the Tateyama-Kurobe-Alpine Route slowly turns a corner. The worries from last night's sleep are reflected in the sunlight and disappear. The bus runs along the open road. Outside the window, you can see the Shomyo Falls, the longest in Japan. The bus driver stops for a moment in front of the observatory. Was the price for the spectacular view the rough road? I want to see Shomyo Falls, the best waterfall in Japan, again. The water falls magnificently. I want to admire its magnificent power. In particular, in the fall, the sight of the water falling at a rate of about 2 tons per second while creating a spray from the mountain range covered in autumn leaves is truly spectacular..

#MayTravelSupportEvent Arrived at ToyamaToyama Station. I wasted 30 minutes thinking I could buy the Tateyama_Kurobe_Alpine Route ticket in Toyama. I had to go from Toyama to Tateyama by train. My wife was so excited that she was buying a cup for her daughter at Starbucks. We were both so excited that we hurried to make an error. When I got to Toyama Station late, the direct train had already departed. Instead, I was told to transfer at Iwakuraji, and I highlighted the map with a red highlighter. April 16, 2019 From Busan to Tateyama via BusanToyama, it was really far. Transferred to the Tateyama train at Iwakuraji. When I got off at Tateyama Station, it was dark, and the cable car to Midagahara was closed. I was in trouble. I was in trouble. The accommodations near the station were sold out, and my Japanese was also poor.

While everyone is concerned about the status of cherry blossoms in Japan, there is actually a magnificent scenery in Japan that is worth visiting, which is the giant snow wall located in Tateyama Kurobe in Hokuriku! "Tateyama Kurobe" is the abbreviation of "Tateyama" and "Lake Kurobe". It is known as the "Japanese Alps". The mountains, about 3 kilometers high, connect the highlands between Toyama Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture. There are various natural landscapes along the way, attracting tourists from all over the world to come for mountain climbing pilgrimage every year. The temperature in winter is not suitable for sightseeing in Tateyama Kurobe, so the mountain is closed from December to April every year. After being covered with ice and snow in winter, the mountain will open in spring. The artificial snow wall "Snow Valley" stands on both sides of the road like Moses parting the sea, which is very magnificent. However, this stunning scenery will gradually disappear as the temperature rises, so it is also a seasonal view limited to Tateyama Kurobe! From Toyama Prefecture: Take the Toyama Railway from Toyama Station to Tateyama Station, then transfer to the Tateyama Cable Car to Bijodaira, and then take the Plateau Bus to reach the destination. The Tateyama Kurobe Climbing Route runs through the Northern Alps, reaching a plateau at 2,500 meters high. It is a 90-kilometer route connecting Toyama Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture. (Pic｜Tateyama Kurobe official website) From Nagano Prefecture: Take a bus from Nagano Station to Ogizawa Station, then take the Kanden Tunnel Electric Bus to Lake Kurobe, then take the Tateyama Ropeway to Daikanbo, and finally take the Tateyama Tunnel Bus to arrive.
