Tateyama Kurobe, known as the Alps, needs to use a variety of vehicles to run through this magnificent mountain route. There are many details in it. I want to divide it into two parts to share with you. I hope that if there is a mistake, please feel free to advise.First of all, let's set off from Toyama Station to prepare to go to Tateyama Murodo!
Tateyama Kurobe has a full view of the beauty of mountain ridges
Before I set off, I must be unfamiliar with "Tateyama Kurobe", because I have heard good friends say how beautiful the snow wall of "Tateyama Kurobe" is and how worthy of a visit, and I also heard another blogger friend say "Tateyama Kurobe" The blue of the inner lake and the steep terrain of the reservoir canyons make it hard to imagine what kind of scenery it looks like and whether it is "Kurobe Tateyama" or "Tateyama Kurobe."
On this trip, we specifically asked the local guides and confirmed that there has always been only the term "Tateyama Kurobe", and this tourist attraction not only has snow walls, but also continuous mountain peaks, high and low scenery, Kurobe reservoir, canyons, etc. You can experience such a magnificent view of Japan by walking through it in person.
Then look at a large area, called the Chubu Mountain National Park, which covers Nagano, Gifu, Toyama, and Niigata Prefectures. The scenic spots include Tateyama, Kurobe Dam, Kamikochi, Hotaka, and Norikura, as follows From the picture, I can understand the journey from Toyama Station on the left side of the picture all the way up and through Tateyama to Nagano Prefecture. Let’s start with the Toyama Station section.

However, when purchasing a ticket, you will need to specify the travel time (Tateyama Tozan Tram/Kanden Tunnel Trolleybus), especially during the peak tourist season of Tateyama Snow Wall and Autumn Maple Viewing.

How to transport luggage to another county in Tateyama?
We go all the way from Toyama. Taking various means of transportation may not necessarily be able to carry large luggage up and down, but will also take up space. A very convenient luggage check service is provided here, allowing you to transfer your luggage from Toyama Station to the Tateyama Station Comprehensive Guide Center , Omachi Onsen Accommodation, Shinano Omachi Station "Alps Roman Pavilion", Midori Nagano Station Building Center, Tateyama Hotel/Midabara Hotel, etc. There are several hotels in Toyama that can directly carry luggage as checked baggage, instead of dragging the luggage to the station, we Several people transferred the luggage to Shinano-Omachi Station. The staff at the counter asked us to fill in the form. The consignment form stated the name of the hotel guest, the mobile phone number in Japan, the location of the luggage collection, the luggage delivery date, etc., and finally confirmed the luggage delivery with the hotel staff time.
