Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route

As with many volcanic areas in Japan of the same name, people cannot walk within the sulfur valley due to gas-related safety concerns.

From April 15 to mid-June, there are snow walls named Yukino-ōtani, which tower anywhere from 15 to 20 meters high (roughly 50 to 65 feet).

There are many charter services from Taipei, Incheon and Thailand during the high season to reach Murodo at this time.

Midagahara is a flat walking area filled with flowing plains interrupted by blue ponds.

Near the bus stop that returns visitors to Bijodaira back down the mountain is a slightly hidden walking path.

Shōmyō Falls (the tallest waterfall in Japan) is visible across the valley while traveling along the main road from Tateyama Station to the Murodo Plateau.

Today, the entire route serves exclusively as a scenic sightseeing journey through the Japanese Alps,[4] popular with tourists.
