Completing Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route Through The Highest Snow Wall In Japan

The Northern Alps is a series of 3000m-class mountains that straddle Nagano and Toyama prefectures. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a sightseeing route with a total length of about 40 km that connects Ohgizawa Station in Nagano Prefecture and Tateyama Station in Toyama Prefecture through the Northern Alps. Along the way, you will transfer to unique transportations such as electric buses, trolley buses, cable cars, and ropeways, and visit the best attractions in Japan such as Kurobe Dam, Snow Corridor, and Shomyo Falls. This time, I will introduce a plan to take the limited express Azusa from Tokyo, enter from the Nagano side, exit to the Toyama side for 1 day trip. The water from Kurobe Dam has not been discharged yet, but the 18m snow wall is a masterpiece in the snow corridor. ◆◆◆ How to get there ◆◆◆ ■From Tokyo to Ohgizawa (Option 1) 1 hour 25-50 minutes from Tokyo to Nagano by Hokuriku Shinkansen.(¥7,810) About 1 hour and 10 minutes from Nagano to Ohgizawa by express bus.(¥2,600) (Option 2) It takes about 3 hours and 15 minutes from Shinjuku to Shinano-ohmachi by limited express Azusa *.(¥7,390) About 40 minutes by bus from Shinano-ohmachi to Ohgizawa.(¥1,390) (*) Only one direct service per day.
