【富山旅行】秋の紅葉と新雪を歩く【立山黒部アルペンルート】室堂・黒部ダム・服装｜vlog

The Tateyama mountain range in the Northern Alps is a chain of 3,000m-class mountains with an elevation difference of approximately 2,000m. From the spectacular autumn scenery to a world of silvery white , take a variety of modes of transportation from Toyama to Nagano to take in the breathtaking views you’ve always dreamed of. Let’s set out on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, which travels through two seasons. 06:40 Toyama Station Good morning ! We’re going to enjoy the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route , a tourist spot that represents Toyama Prefecture ! Tateyama Station , Murodo, Kurobe Dam, Electric Railway Toyama Station. Traveling by train from Electric Railway Toyama Station to Tateyama Station , I arrived 15 minutes before departure, but there were already many people there. Retro signs lined the ticket gates. I headed to Tateyama Station on the Toyama Chiho Railway, affectionately known as the “Radish Train” and “Pumpkin Train.” I boarded the “Toyama Moyo Train” on the left, a two-car train designed with Tateyama’s autumn leaves and the Toyama prefectural bird, the ptarmigan. It was the perfect two-car train for the journey. It took about 70 minutes to reach Tateyama . Even at the end of the tourist season, the train was full , stopping at unusual delta-like and retro-inspired stations along the way. The train crossed the Joganji River and arrived at Tateyama Station. The elevation difference between Electric Railway Toyama Station and Tateyama Station was about 400 meters. Isn’t this a truly impressive mountain railway? I purchased a ticket to Ogizawa, the terminal station at Tateyama Station . During the late autumn season, when snowfall is expected, only same-day tickets are sold . For smoother travel, booking your ticket online is recommended. The cable car to Bijodaira is closed due to construction. I took the highland bus to Murodo. There were multiple buses operating. It took about 70 minutes to get to Murodo. The highland bus trip. Private cars are restricted on the Tateyama Toll Road. Only group buses and related vehicles are allowed to travel on this section. From Katsuradai at an elevation of 663m to Murodo at 2,450m, we climbed about 1,800m in one go. The section from Katsuradai to Bijodaira is the best time to see the autumn leaves. I drove through Bijodaira, where a primeval forest of Tateyama cedars and beech trees spreads. If I were to stay in Tateyama, I would want to walk here… Needless to say, this is a serious mountain route. I took motion sickness medicine to enjoy the scenery. The drop is 350m. Shomyo Falls, Japan’s tallest waterfall. We recommend sitting on the left side of the bus. From the waterfall viewing platform, you can see the beautiful autumn leaves and the hint of winter in Midagahara. The wetlands around here, “Tateyama Midagahara and Dainichidaira, ” are registered under the Ramsar Convention, which aims to preserve wetlands and the flora and fauna that inhabit them. Once we passed an elevation of 2,000 meters, the bus window was a world of silver, with a cloudless blue sky—perfect! It was a lie that I was worried about the cloudy skies at Toyama Station . Mount Tsurugi, featured in a film, is in a league of its own . After passing Otani, known for its gigantic snow walls, the bus arrived at its final destination, Murodo Bus Terminal. Arriving at Murodo at an elevation of 2,450 meters, it was absolutely beautiful. It was amazing how the scenery suddenly changed from autumn leaves to a snow-capped mountain . Let’s head upstairs and explore. Murodo is covered in snow, so you’ll need to take precautions when exploring . This time, we brought snowshoes and crampons. While the alpine route allows you to easily experience the charm of high mountains, you must always be mindful of the harshness of nature and the risks. We took a round-trip walk to Mikurigaike Pond, where we arrived at the “Mirror of the Sky,” a spectacular winter scenery that only lasts for two weeks. The larch trees are probably buried in snow, but in summer it’s a green area. In summer, it’s turned into a promenade. Kumazasa grass grows up to about knee height. I’m so glad it ‘s sunny! Isn’t it difficult to get sunny? It was pretty cloudy this morning, so I thought, “Maybe…” but it was wonderful! I’m so glad I came. Sunglasses and crampons are essential. I’m warmed up, so my body isn’t cold. The snow is white, and the sun reflects off it, making it dazzling. I lost track of time in the spectacular scenery… Let’s have lunch at Murodo Terminal. We’ll try the famous curry at Hotel Tateyama, which will be closing in 2026. It’s probably best to arrive at Murodo early. It’s an hour away, so it’s quite crowded. From lunchtime, we’ll head down the mountain toward Ogizawa! Tateyama Tunnel Electric Bus I didn’t know that the song “Kito Toki Toki – Yopponashi no Odori” from the movie “Wolf Children,” which is set in Tateyama Kurobe , was used as the departure melody until it started playing, so if you’re going, be sure to listen! The entire section is through a tunnel, so the view ahead is recommended. The upper and lower buses pass each other right below Mt. Oyama, right below Mt. Tateyama! Even though it’s a tunnel bus, it’s super fun! We pass through the Tateyama Fault Fracture Zone , where 63 tons of water spurts out every minute. You can drink the spring water at Murodo. Lake Kurobe can be seen below Daikanbo. The Tateyama Ropeway is 1.7km long and uses a single-span system with no supports along the way. There are no supports along the way to avoid the risk of being caught in an avalanche. We descend 500m in altitude in one go. We are simply amazed by the magnificent nature and civil engineering technology… Kurobedaira. In the summer, you can enjoy highland plants in the garden. Kurobe Cable Car. Deciding on the places to see and pass through in advance may be the key to sightseeing smoothly. The Kurobe Cable Car is the only fully underground cable car in Japan , so the view from the window is pitch black from this point on… Kurobe Dam, which I was looking forward to along with Murodo . We walk around the dam of Kurobe Dam. Kurobe Dam. More than 10 tons of water spurts out every second from the highest point in Japan. The rainbow arch over Kurobe Dam is in full bloom when the leaves change color. Isn’t it amazing to be above a rainbow? It’s a rainbow! Out of breath, I headed to the place with that view. The Kuroyon Project is known as the construction of the century. Kurobe Dam is a symbol of this, but the power plant is apparently located about 10km downstream from the dam. To be honest, I thought it was around here. Water is released for tourists for four months, from June to October. Coincidentally, water was being released on this day. The water is delicious from the fault zone. Kanden Tunnel Electric Bus The last vehicle on the Alpine Route is the Kanden Tunnel Electric Bus. Until now, the bus had run from Tateyama Kurobe Kanko, but from here onwards it is operated by a Kansai Electric Power Company affiliate. This route itself is a transportation route for the construction of Kuroyon. If you take the bus from Ogisawa towards Kurobe Dam, you can also trace the difficulties that went into the construction of Kuroyon. I spotted an electric bus charging at Ogisawa Station ! Apparently you can see the old trolleybus at a nearby memorial museum. Taking the bus and train back to Toyama. Changing onto a local bus bound for Shinano-Omachi and Nagano. Approximately 35 minutes to Shinano-Omachi Station. Shinano-Omachi Station . A journey on the Oito Line passing through Hakuba. The Oito Line connects Shinano-Omachi (Nagano) and Itoigawa (Niigata). The majestic mountains of the Northern Alps reflected from the train window are a sight to behold. A train ride admiring the beautiful valleys along the Himekawa River. A local line where you can enjoy Japan’s pristine scenery. At Minami-Otari Station, I changed onto the Itoigawa line . There were few passengers, so I was able to get a seat without any problems. I answered the user survey and received a lovely clear file. About two hours from Shinano-Omachi, I arrived at Itoigawa, a city on the Sea of ​​Japan. To Toyama by Hokuriku Shinkansen. Arriving in Toyama in 30 minutes – the Shinkansen is fast. Traveling along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route through two seasons, autumn and winter. How did you enjoy your trip? This special place is easily accessible, at an altitude of 2,450m. To enjoy it comfortably, it’s a good idea to prepare a few things in advance . 1. We recommend reserving your tickets in advance → When it’s crowded, reservations take priority, so you may not be able to move around as you wish → Allow two hours for a stroll around Murodo and one hour for Kurobe Dam to be safe 2. Make sure to dress appropriately → The temperature difference from the lowlands is around 15°C, so don’t forget to bring warm clothes → The sun is strong at high altitudes, so be sure to take measures against UV rays as well Check the official website for the latest information and plan a fun trip!
