Tateyama Ropeway | ZEKKEI Japan

Turn Japan’s best secret spots into dream destinations

Tateyama Ropeway
立山ロープウェイ
Toyama

Sep.

This ropeway runs the steep, rocky slope between Kurobedaira Station and Daikanbo Station in around 7 minutes, traversing a vertical distance of about 500 m. There isn’t a single support pillar between the two stations, so you’ll be able to enjoy incredible views of the Tateyama mountain range from this “mobile observatory.” With a seasonal character that runs from fresh greenery to fall foliage, the gorgeous expanses of the Northern Alps are not to be missed.

Point

The fall leaf change takes about a month and a half to move from the summit to the foot of the mountains. Being able to visit at different times and enjoy the changing scenery is one of the area’s charms.
Nearest Station/IC Access
