Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

I bought a local 2 days 1 night tour and went there with my 6yo daughter. The tour was travelling East direction, from Tateyama Station to Ogizawa Station. We noticed that there is lesser crowd if u start from Ogizawa to Tateyama. During this 2-day coach trip, we wander past traditional Japanese farmhouses in World Heritage–listed Shirakawago village and stroll the mountain town of Hida Takayama, aka Little Kyoto. We started from : 1. Tateyama Cable Car (7 mins ) 2. Bijodaira 3. Tateyama Highland Bus (30 mins) (Shomyo Falls can be seen from the bus) 4. Murodo (lunch, stroll, experience the snow wall) 5. Tateyama Tunnel Trolley Bus (10 mins) 6. Daikanbo (the observation deck atop the station or enjoy the view from the second floor) 7. Tateyama Ropeway (7 mins) 8. Kurobe Cable Car (5 mins) 9. Kurobe Dam sightseeing 10. Kanden Tunnel Electric Bus (16 mins) 11. Ogizawa Station. 1433m above sea level. 12. The end of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. We took 5 hrs to complete the whole route from Tateyama Station to Ogizawa Station. The snow wall was by far the highlight though all the other points were very beautiful. The ropeway with 360 degree views of the snow clad mountains on all sides was a beauty. I would highly recommend this to everyone visiting Japan, and especially in April when the snow wall is at its highest point. We wish that we have more time at the Murodo as my daughter loves playing with snow and the walk along the snow wall was very amazing. #newyearadventure #japan
