TATEYAMA-KUROBE ALPINE ROUTE
Along with Mt.Fuji and Hakuson, Tateyama is one of Japan's three sacred Mountains and has beenorshiped since ancient times. Tateyama Range is a spectacular and solemn display of peaks, soaring up to an altitude of 3000meters. The variety of its topography creates a beauty of nature which has long been the love of many alpinists. Kurobe Alpine Route, linking Toyama and Nagano prefectures, Tateyama's heights have become accessible to us as an international alpine sightseeing area. Tateyama, as nature, is both gentle and severe.
Its appeal lasts from season to season, year to year, and it allows us an impression and peace of mind.
