Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

Kurobe・Tateyama

A mountain sightseeing route in the Northern Alps,
with mountain ranges over 3,000 meters in altitude,
where you can enjoy nature that changes with the altitude,
by riding 6 different modes of transportation,
such as cable cars and ropeways.

As I have been a guide on the Alpine Route for a long time,
I offer a unique perspective on guiding visitors,
different from general tours.
