Visit the famous and long
demanded
Alpine Route in
Japanese Alps. Requiring varying modes of
transportation, this route takes you through mountains
and valleys for some of the most scenic views in all of
Japan. From high mountain peaks reflected in the
surface of calm, crystal lakes to the lower elevations at
the Kurobe Dam and the famous site of the snow
corridor, this route is sure to be unforgettably beautiful.
The star of this route is the Snow Corridor with walls of
snow that can reach 20 meters in height. This route
allows for bus and pedestrian travel allowing for a great
walking experience and a great size comparison to the
nearby busses. The walls of snow are at their peak in
May but remain even in August. Our busses will provide
transportation where possible but there are many other
systems that will be required for you to complete the
whole route. You can also experience the Tateyama
ropeway or Tateyama cable car which can provide a lift
higher up into the mountains. While on these cars, you
are sure you have a great view of the scenery below
and around you. There is also a tunnel trolley bus which
takes you through the inside of Mt. Tateyama and Mt.
Akasawadake. The wide variety of scenery featured on
this tour is sure to keep your camera and your memory
busy! Even in this remote area of Japan, there are
onsen hot springs to warm up at and delicious food to
be eaten. From traditional Udon to "Alpine Curry", you're
sure to find delicious options along the way. There are
also many spiritual opportunities along the way as many
Buddhist relics have been left behind by the many that
have come before.
