Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route – Mt. Tate, Japan

Essentially a sightseeing road, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route offers tourists multiple activities and attractions along Mount Tate. Also known as the ‘roof of Japan,’ it has walking trails, cable car rides, several winter and summer activities, and much more.

The 23-mile-long route gives its visitors access to the Kurobe Dam and has hotels, pubs, and restaurants along the way. Meanwhile, the unique flora and fauna in the locality include the Daylily flower; if tourists are lucky, they may even see a stoat or a Japanese antelope. However, its greatest attraction is walking between the 55-foot snow walls, which develop due to the harsh winters.
