Japan's Alpine Route in Autumn

The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a spectacular way to cross the Northern Japan Alpsby a combination of buses, cablecars and a ropeway. The route leads from Toyama 


City at the Sea of Japan coast to Murodo at an altitude of 2420 meters before descending into the town of Omachi in Nagano Prefecture. It can be travelled in either direction.

Due to its wide range of elevation, the Alpine Route features autumn colors over an extended time period. One of the first places on Japan's main island of Honshu to see the seasonal colors, 

, Murodo usually sees its alpine bushes start coloring around late September, while the seasonal spectacle lasts into the month of November in the lower elevations along the route.


Murodo offers walking options for every visitor from easy strolls around the bus terminal to multi-day trekking tours through the Northern Alps. A particularly popular 


hike is the ascent to the 3015 meter high peak of Mount Tateyama, which takes about two hours one way from the bus terminal.


This is certainly one of the few visited or known places of the world so just thought of sharing and informing about this unknown heaven's paradise as you can see from below pictures....

Japan surely has many more unseen and unknown places yet to be discovered and my blog will be an attempt to take you to such uncovered out of the world  places
