The Kurobe Dam (the tallest dam in Japan ) should not be missed. I visited Here in May and it was perfect! You need to take the special tram to get you there, but it's well worth it. It is one of the main attractions of Kurobe Tateyama Alpine Route. It is huge and very impressive. The scenic view was honestly gorgeous to say the very least. You fell never tired of seeing its panoramic scenery.

Stunning view in this sunny day with clear and blue sky. Need to climb 220 steps of stair to the observatory but worthy. The outdoor stairs is closed due to the snow.

2022/05/05 Magnificent view. Be careful about crowd if you worry about pandemic. We took a 15 min ride on electric bus from Ogizawa station to Kurobe dam. From here, we walk to kurobeko station to take cable car to go to kurobedaira.

This was my first stop of Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Kurobe Dam. It took around 15 minutes from Ogizawa Station. The view here amazing and the wind is really strong, this dam is 186 meters high. This is such a huge and tall water dam, and also it is a way to reach Kurobeko station.

Beautiful surroundings to be honest. I do find it expensive though ¥2800 for basically a 15 minute bus ride to the dam as you cannot drive to the dam so have to take the bus. I think that it is worth going in the autumn and winter more so than a summers day , I will post again in the autumn.

If you wanna traveling in Japan, I think this one of the a beautiful place certainly you have to travel it in. When I enjoyed that place, I remember my country. Absolutely Indonesia’s view very amazing right. And I love so much travelers although my body was tired.

Very impressive dam. The wind there is insane, very very cold during spring so do layer up.

I traveled to Kurobe Dam in October by train from Toyama and bus up the mountain. I suggest using this route to go from Hokuriku to Tokyo if you want to experience some sightseeing in Japan!

The views are dam good here. Weather is pretty chilly and sun is bright so pack as weather and sun protection. Didn’t go on the cruise so can’t comment on that, I was on the way up the mountain. The dam has some great history so do go check that out if you’re interested in how the dam plays a part in supporting the villages at the foot of the mountains. Apart from that, it’s a great photo opportunity area

Tallest dam in Japan at 163m. Built in 1963. Good view of the dam. Had good weather, clear sky and not too warm.

Beautiful scenery. The climb up the observatory can be rather tiring. With 260-280 steps up and down. Definitely not for the faint hearted! The dam Only open for discharge from late june, which can be spectacular. Factor in at least an hour to walk around. There is also the option to take a scenic cruise for 30 mins at a charge

Kurobe dam was built in the mid 1960’s and is quite an engineering marvel. It makes you a bit dizzy to stand at the top and look down. Definitely worth a visit! RECOMMENDATION: - Be sure to go to the restaurant and eat the “Dam Curry”. It is a curry dish with the rice shaped like a dam holding back the curry. Best Dam Curry ever! INTERESTING FACT: - Their mascot is “Kuronyan” (“Black Cat”). SECRET FACT: - When you ride the electric bus to get there, look at the handle holds: they are black cat heads!

I think this is my second time walking across a dam. The first was the Hoover Dam. It's another beautiful sight of lake, green forest and distance snow capped mountains. Enjoy this last bit of natural beauty before heading back to civilization.

Good place to cool off during the hot Japanese summer. Great views of the mountain that you can't see in other parts of Japan. Average temperature are in the cool 17C (about 62.6F). The bus to get there gets quite expensive.

Tateyama is one of Japan's Three Sacred Mountains. It has been worshiped since ancient times. Had great weather and the view at the top was terrific.

Beautiful Alpine in Japan , snow wall has already shorter in June however is is great to see all mountains around and trails for hiking

Not a very special or beautiful mountain range. Snow wall is just a photo spot for you to post on IG or FB. There are man made structures everywhere. The tourist trip ticket (bus and cable car) is super expensive. Food choice is limited up in the mountain although the quality is fine as you can expect elsewhere in Japan. I'm not very sure if my trip was about culture or history or just the view. It's a mixture of many things but it's "just like that"

Enjoying a beautiful mountain trekking through so-called “Tateyama”, which consist of Mr. Oyama, Mt. Ohnanjiya, and Mt. Fuji-no-oritate. It was a very impressive to enjoy the changing colors of autumn leaves It has been a mountain of mountain worship since ancient times and is one of the Three Holy Mountains in Japan.

A good place to enjoy the snow during spring. Has a snow wall (main) which is much taller than the highway bus. During the summer, the snow will melt, and start seeing nature at mt. Tateyama.

I went here during May, and up on the mountain it was still alpine weather. Everything was still covered in snow/ice. Strong wind and temperature can drop suddenly. The hiking trail was all covered, so after wandering around for 1 hour finding the trail in 2C degree, I just went back to Murodo. Can see the native bird of the region while I was outside. Good experience, but not for the faint of heart.

Finally being here. I love mountains so happy to be here. But come alone. One day, I would like to come here again with my loved one.

Very exciting trekking route, and great view from the top in 3003m. Most people with normal health and fysic, can make it. Weather can change quickly, and temperature at the top is always low.

We took the Cable Car from Tateyama Station to Bijodaira Station to visit Kurobe Dam. Noted on my wonder-tips site.

(Translated by Google) I visited in early June and thought about taking a walk, but as you can see in the photo, I suddenly saw a steep descent and gave up. I visited only Bijosugi in front of the station and moved to Murodo. (Original) 6月初旬に訪れて、少し散策でもしようかと思ってましたが、写真にもあるようにいきなりの急な下り坂を見て、諦めました。駅前の美女杉だけ見学して、室堂に移動しました。

(Translated by Google) Anyway, the people are amazing... I waited for more than an hour to get on the cable car. Even if the service is delayed, people keep coming. And am I the only Japanese? ? ? It's like. (Original) とにかく人が凄い…ケーブルカー乗るのに一時間以上待った。運行が遅れてると言っても人が次から次へと来る。しかも日本人俺だけ？？？みたいな感じ。

(Translated by Google) It is a transfer area for the Kurobe Alpine Route, and can be visited by bus from Murodo and cable car from Tateyama. Near the building, there is a signboard and two large cedar trees that say that when a beautiful princess chanted her wish for love to a cedar tree, her wish came true. It seemed to be only a transfer station, and there were no souvenir shops or restaurants. (Original) 黒部アルペンルートの乗り換えエリアで、室堂からはバス、立山からはケーブルカーで訪れることになる。 建物の近くには、美しい姫の恋の願いを杉に唱えたところ、願いが叶ったことが書かれた、看板と二本の大きな杉がある。 乗り換えの駅だけのようで、お土産屋やレストラン等は無かった。

(Translated by Google) When climbing from the Toyama side to the Kurobe side, the bus will stop at the waterfalls and large cedar trees, so if you want to take a camera or video, you should get a seat on the left side. I missed the flight and was seated in the middle booster seat, so I couldn't get a good view of the views to the left and right! The area around Otani, where the snow was the deepest, was also worth seeing. (Original) 富山側から黒部側に登って行く時は、滝とか大杉の見どころにバスが停まってくれるので、カメラやビデオ撮りには、左側の席を確保すべきですね。 私は、乗り遅れて真ん中の補助席だったので、左右の絶景が良く撮れなかった！ 雪が一番深い「大谷」周辺も見応えがありました。

(Translated by Google) Many people switch from cable to bus. There is a hiking course on the south side of this station, but there are almost no people walking on it. (Original) 多くの方は、ケーブルからバスに乗り換えます。 この駅の南側にはハイキングコースがありますが歩いている人はほぼいません。

(Translated by Google) Since it was a sudden visit and I was wearing short-sleeved clothes, I gave up at this point. But I think it's enough to enjoy a short hike. (Original) 急遽訪れ半そでの服装のため、ここまでで諦めました。しかしちょっとしたハイキングを楽しむのは十分だとおもいます。

(Translated by Google) Transfer bus area, good route arrangement (Original) 轉乘巴士處，動線安排佳

(Translated by Google) One of Japan's most unusual cable cars. It is a type of cableway. (Original) 国内有数の珍しい乗り物ケーブルカー。索道の一種です。

(Translated by Google) Everyone passes by, but I think the view from the terrace on the second floor is pretty amazing. (Original) 皆さん素通りされますが、２階のテラスからの景色もかなり素晴らしいと思います。

Really beautiful pond with an amazing view of the mountains. The reflection of the mountains in the pond was absolutely serene. I would strongly recommend everyone to take the small hike to this pond. It might be a little far but is totally worth it.

It’s heart shaped! So beautiful view as well

This is located in Tateyama, and is in one of the National Parks in Japan. Simply breathtaking scenery. Also, you may recognize it as one of the locations from the anime “Wolf Children”. It’s probably best to join a tour group if you don’t speak Japanese, as I can be a bit complicated to get here. It is only accessible via bus transfers, cable car transfers, and electric bus transfers. Well worth the visit, as you will be reborn when you come here. INTERESTING FACT: - The electric bus is the only one like it in Japan, and is actually classified as a “non-rail railway”!

Around 20 minutes walk from morodo station, take a walk & enjoy! There are many benches nearby so you could take a rest in between.

Snowy conditions today! (6 October 2023). Could barely see the pond, and if a bear or ice-age chicken came charging, we'd have no chance of seeing it till it was upon us. But a lovely, serene spot nonetheless.

Serene pond reflecting the mountain peaks at Tateyama. Had good weather of early autumn, slightly warm.

Absolutely stunning. Do not miss this, there are benches nearby where you can peacefully sit and take in this breathtaking view. Can get some really good clicks as well. Barely a 10 minute walk away from the station.

Beautiful pond, surrounded by gorgeous mountains. We were lucky to go during autumn a day after it snowed there. The sky was clear and blue, mountains snow-capped and greenery still lush. It took about 15mins to walk to the pond from the Murodo terminal on paved path.

Exceptionally beautiful. Clear blue sky. Snow capped mountains reflecting in the pristine blue waters of the pond. There are some benches besides the pond too, absolutely peaceful to sit and enjoy for a while.

Walking out from Murodo and along the path, you will see this beautiful lake. Visited there in late July, 2018. There's still snow around and some in the lake.

A 4-star rating is reserved for their beef curry or green curry with pork cutlet. Personally, I have a preference for the beef curry. However, I do believe there is room for improvement when it comes to their rice.

(Translated by Google) It was the first time for me to visit Golden Week before the thaw, but the ice in the dam was melting, but it was the first time for me to see such a low water level. I had a dam curry. There are green curry and ordinary curry, but I got green curry because the color of the water in the dam is green. It was a decent taste. It's easy at a price of 1100 yen. There are also many other soba menus. The spring water is very very delicious. (Original) 雪解け前のゴールデンウィークの来訪は初めて、ダムの氷は溶けていますが、こんなに水位が低い眺めは初めてでした、これから水を貯めて放水が6月始まるのですね。 ダムカレー頂きました。グリーンカレーと普通のカレーがありますが、ダムの水の色がグリーンなのでグリーンカレー頂きました。そこそこにちゃんとした味わいでした。お値段1100円でお手軽です。 他にお蕎麦のメニューも沢山あります。湧水とてもとても美味しいよ。

Good place to escape from the wind and the cold outside. Nice curry, can be tough to find seat during lunch time due to crowd.

Very good curry for such a remote resturant, i rate it higher than coco curry house. Elevation : 1454m @ Kurobe Dam

Nice curry and quick service!

good

(Translated by Google) This is a eat-in restaurant located on the shore of Kurobe Dam (Lake Kurobe). The 1st floor is a souvenir shop and the 2nd floor is a restaurant. The menu includes common diner-like items such as dumb curry, ramen, udon, and soba. The dam curry comes from Lake Kurobe, which is emerald green, so the curry roux is also green curry. . . The moment I saw the menu, I was very disappointed because the Kurobe Dam, which is said to be ``the best in Japan,'' was described in a curry that made me think twice, ``Huh? This size??'' In that sense, I was a little disappointed. The taste was okay, but I was more disappointed by the punch line. It's like buying a meal ticket from a ticket vending machine, and your order is automatically placed the moment you purchase your ticket, so you don't have to hand it over to the person in charge. The only seats overlooking Lake Kurobe are single table seats by the window, and only 4 to 5 people can sit there. (Original) 黒部ダム（黒部湖）のほとりにあるイートイン、レストランです。1Fがお土産物屋で2Fがレストランになっています。メニューはダムカレーを始めラーメン・うどん・そば、など一般的な食堂っぽいメニューは取り揃えています。 ダムカレーは黒部湖がエメラルドグリーンということでカレーのルーもグリーンカレーなのですが。。。提供されたメニューを見た瞬間とてもがっかりしたのは「日本一！」とされる黒部ダムが「えっ？このサイズ？？」と2度見するレベルのカレーで表現されていたから。そういう意味で少しがっかりした。お味はかもなく不可もなくですが出オチでがっかり感のほうが強かった。 券売機で食券を買うスタイルでチケットを購入した瞬間に自動で注文が入るので特に係の人に渡す必要はないです。黒部湖を望む席は窓際のひとりがけテーブル席だけで4～5人しか頑張って座れないだろう。

(Translated by Google) I used it when I was visiting Kurobe Dam because I felt hungry. It's a tourist destination price, but I think it can't be helped considering this route. The dishes I ate were Kurobe Dam Cutlet Curry (Green Curry) (1,600 yen) and Arch Dam Curry (1,160 yen), which were quite delicious. I wanted to try the dum curry for two meals, but since we shared the two types above, it was okay. (Original) 黒部ダム見学の時に小腹がすき利用しました。 観光地価格ですが、この道のりを考えたら致し方ないかと思います。 食べたのは黒部ダムカツカレー（グリーンカレー）（１６００円）とアーチダムカレー（１１６０円）で結構おいしかった。 ２食ダムカレーが食べたかったけど、上の二種類をシェアしたのでまあいいか。

(Translated by Google) Kurobe Dam's famous gourmet food! Local specialties designed to incorporate the scenery of the dam, such as lentils and excursion boats 🍛 The curry eaten by the people who built the dam has been passed down... The store is clean The curry is very delicious and the scenery is great. I was able to relax😊 2023.6.26 (Monday) (Original) 黒部ダムの名物グルメ！ えん提や遊覧船などダムの景色を盛り込んで工夫した、ご当地名物🍛 ダム建設当時の方々が食べたカレーが引き継がれているとか… 店内は清潔感あり カレーはとても美味しく景色も最高です。 のんびりできました😊 2023.6.26(月)

Ate lunch here before heading out to explore Tateyama. The lunch sets were basic and a little on the pricey side - but you can't beat the view! Despite the big demand, service was quick and accommodating! Even with a wait list, we were in under 15 minutes or so. If you need a quick bite to refuel before exploring, I recommend!

Enjoying a beaf curry and a mug of cold draft beer at the restaurant, Tateyama. It was a chillax time after a long mountain trekking.

Very limited options for food. I ordered beef curry with rice, however, it was only carry sauce with only 3 small pieces of beef. The food is also spicy. I wouldn't recommend this place.

The staffs there're so polite and let 2 of us sit on a table for 6. When more guests came, they asked us to let the the other people sit by us. It's a busy restaurant with good quality of food and reasonable price.

Delicious food 😋 Good service ！

(Translated by Google) Eating is the key point during travel, but it is not everything. Especially for vegetarians, diet cannot and will not affect the high excitement of travel. Especially in such a beautiful and magnificent scenic spot, having hot food is the ultimate enjoyment. ! (Original) 旅遊過程吃是個重點但不是全部，尤其對蔬食者來說，飲食並不能也不會影響旅行的高昂興致，尤其在這麼美與壯闊的景點來說，有一分熱食已經是極致的享受囉！

(Translated by Google) I couldn't taste the shrimp at all. It didn't taste at all like I was eating Shinashina's bland batter. I think the size and flesh of the white shrimp are small, so I think it would be better to fry them in a thin batter at a high temperature to crisp them up. (Original) エビは全く感じられず。 しなしなの味気のない衣を食べている感じで全く美味しくなかった。 白海老のサイズも身も少ないと思うので、カラッと高温で薄衣で揚げるト良いのではないだろうな。

Delicious and satisfying soba noodles in clear soup and toppings of your choice. Just the thing when it's cold and rainy outside.

We ate rice balls and Japanese noodle here. Noted on my wonder-tips site.

Yummy hot soba & hot buns!

(Translated by Google) I used it when I stayed at Hotel Tateyama! +French cuisine course plan that can be selected by paying the fee. The food was delicious! It was so voluminous that I got full halfway through. +I got the impression that there weren't many customers because of the price. It's open by the window, but you can't see anything at night, so don't expect too much of a view. (Original) ホテル立山に泊まった際に利用しました！ +料金を払うと選択できるフランス料理のコースプラン。 料理は美味しかったです！ボリューム満点で途中でお腹いっぱいになってしまいました。 +料金のためあまりお客様は多くない印象でした。 窓辺で開けていますが、夜になると何も見えないので景色はそんなに期待しない方がいいかもです。

(Translated by Google) We had a Western dinner at Hotel Tateyama.
