2-Day Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Shirakawago & Takayama Tour (From Tokyo, with English-speaking Tour Conductor)
1. Take a 2-day sightseeing tour to visit the popular Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Shirakawago and Hida Takayama areas efficiently by bus.
2. Depart from Shinjuku via bus and jump right into your alpine route trip. There's no need to worry about where to store luggage.
3. Stroll through the World Heritage Site Shirakawago and its village of thatched-roof houses, and the historic town of Hida Takayama, locations that are difficult for travelers to reach on their own.
4. On tours departing from mid-April mid-June, participants will also visit the Snow Corridor (a road flanked by walls of snow that stretches for about 500 meters)! The Snow Corridor area gets a lot of snow, and the snow walls may reach up to 20 meters in height.
5. The water spray from the 10 to 15 tons of water cascading through Kurobe Dam every second is a sight to remember! From late June to mid-October, water is specially discharged from the dam everyday as a sightseeing attraction. The foliage of the alpine route begins to turn yellow in mid-September, giving way to a deeper blend of red and orange that can be enjoyed until early November.
6. A minimum of 2 participants is required for tours to run on Oct. 8, 2017!
For 2018, a minimum of 2 participants is required for tours to run on all departures dates in April, as well as May 11, 18, 25, June 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, July 6, Aug. 3, Sept. 7, Oct. 5, and Nov. 2.
