Visit Japan Diary (Vol.5) – My very first snow – Alpine Route Kurobe Dam & Yuki No Otani

Holaaa everyone :D ,, i will be sharing about our trip to One of the most scenic mountain routes in Japan, that was Alpine Route. Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is an incredibly scenic mountain crossing between Ōmachi in Nagano prefecture and Tateyama in Toyama prefecture. Our trip began from Tokyo Station.

After arriving at Ueda Station, we ride miscellaneous transportations to reach there. I really amazed with the electricity bus system over there.

The buses themselves are quite special as they're one of only two trolleybus lines operating in Japan

And finally we reached Kurobe Dam, the view definitely so stunning. We reached the top and were rewarded with a fantastic view of the Kurobe dam and mountains!

From late June to October, fifteen tons of water per second is released from the dam. I can imagine that it would be quite a spectacular sight and we would love to see it one day. (^ー^)ノ

The matcha mocha definitely the best mocha I ever ate so far. But, unfortunately only available and sold at Kurobe Dam 。・°°・(>_<)・°°・。

At Daikanbo, we took the rope way and passed by the beautiful mountain covered with white snow. This view was so breathtaking. Of course, the weather was very cold that time. But all of us really enjoyed and enthusiastic with this fantastic panorama.

After 10 minutes journey by bus from Daikanbo, finally we arrived at Murodo and could see the Snow Wall. Though it was spring time, we could see the snow wall still taller than us.

Many people wrote their name on the snow wall with different languages. We also don’t want to miss this and wrote Fun Japan logo on it.
