Description
❑ A Unique Experience Through the Seasons
Known as the “Roof of Japan,” the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is one of Japan’s most iconic and unique experiences. By combining electric buses, ropeways, and trolley buses, you’ll ascend to the 2,450m Murodo Plateau. Each season offers a different highlight: towering 20-meter snow walls in April–June, cool alpine breezes in July–August, and vibrant autumn colors in September–October. The route is closed in winter, making every visit rare and special. With a dedicated camera, your moments are captured and delivered as photo gifts after the tour.
❑ Why Private?
Because it’s private, your journey can be flexibly tailored to your pace and interests. The Alpine Route requires multiple transfers and can be complex to navigate, but your English-speaking guide handles tickets, transfers, and time management. With private car access to the entrance, you’ll enjoy a smooth journey and focus fully on the breathtaking scenery.
❑ A Personalized Journey
Our tours go beyond sightseeing. We avoid crowds and carefully curate special moments only locals can share. By treating Japan itself as a studio, we capture your unique travel time in photos—turning it into a gift of memories.
Whether you wish to walk deeper into the Snow Corridor, relax at a mountain café, or hike a scenic trail, your itinerary will be adjusted to match your preferences.
