Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route
Level: HARD
Famous: The SNOW WALL
This path is known as the 'Roof of Japan' and it's a stunner, taking in sweeping meadows and the might of Mount Tateyama, one of Japan's most sacred mountains. The full route is about 90km long and most hikers normally use a combination of buses and cable cars to supplement their walking. You can start at Toyama to go on to Tateyama Station and beyond - the full route by public transport alone takes up to seven hours, but short hikes are available if you want a self-guided walk over the mighty Kurobe Dam, or photograph the view from Murodo over to Tateyama. When the weather is fine Tateyama can often be hiked on its own.
