For a glimpse of some of Japan’s most scenic landscapes you can take a day trip along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route which is a sensational scenic route through the Northern Japan Alps.

The route is accessed by means of a series of aerial cable cars and trolley buses, including the thrilling Tateyama Ropeway, which is Japan’s longest one-span ropeway.

In winter the area is transformed into a snow-covered wonderland and in spring you can make your way on foot through a majestic snow corridor. In summer and autumn people come from miles around to hike a network of scenic trails and to admire the extravagant display of autumn foliage.
