Epic Alpine Adventure: Tateyama’s Peaks, Panoramas & Power 🌄🚋🌊

Wake up above the clouds at Murodo, then take one of Japan’s most scenic routes through the heart of the Japanese Alps, where postcard-worthy views, dazzling dams, and legendary transport unite for a must-try experience!

Start the day by mailing a postcard from Murodo to capture that dreamy mountain morning.

Hop on the Tateyama Tunnel Trolley bus for a smooth ride to Daikanbo. Don’t miss Daikanbo’s panoramic terrace - the best “insta-worthy” angle is straight out the window atop the ropeway as you ascend toward Kurobedaira. Snap alpine valleys sneaking beneath misty peaks!

Continue by catching the ropeway from Daikanbo, then the cable car to Kurobeko. Head to the Kurobe Dam observation deck for front-row seats to the spectacular water release - prime photo ops are just as the water bursts out into the gorge. After soaking in the engineering wonders, reward yourself with a hearty curry lunch at the Resthouse restaurant! 🍛

Tips: Start early to beat crowds and catch dam water releases, especially in summer. Bring layers - the mountain weather flips fast. Keep cash handy for lunch, tiny souvenirs, and unexpected snacks in case card machines go down. Watch for slippery walks near the dam and platforms after rain.
