The Tateyama Ropeway in Toyama Prefecture is one leg of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. A popular attraction in and of itself, the ropeway gives visitors the opportunity to experience the sprawling natural beauty that surrounds Mt. Tateyama from high above. From the looming figure of Akasawadake Peak to the distant pool of Kurobe Dam, travelers will have ample time to take in the rich green of the surrounding landscape. Many people take the trip for the Tateyama Ropeway alone, but those craving a bigger adventure can choose to make the journey along the entire Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route!
