Discover another world above the clouds, created by ranges of mountains 3,000m high. The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is one of the world’s best mountain sightseeing routes, with services such as cable cars, ropeways and trolley buses making it easy for you to get around. Each season brings a new and beautiful natural panorama, from the snowy valleys at the beginning of spring to alpine flowers in summer and colourful leaves in autumn.
