[2025 Tateyama Attraction] Travel Guide for Kurobe Dam (Updated Mar)

#wecreate #japan #kurobedam This is the kurobe dam, one small part of the Kurobe Tateyama Alpine route. It is the first station if you are starting from Nagano side. You can take the bus from shinano omachi station to the Ogizawa station and from there, you have to take a tunnel bus to the dam. This Alpine route is only open during certain periods of the year, they will only start to release the water from the dam in around June. Unfortunately, I went a little too early 🥲 Nevertheless, it was still beautiful 😍

it was constructed between 1956 and 1963. it makes your ayes blow to see the view up there. for me it was wonderful experience cause I never seen anything like that. but there’s a thing to get up there, you have to take your steps up to 200 stairs but once you got there it will be worthies. to get there from tokyo you have to take the train to nagano and from nagano get the bus to ogizawa station then you will get your alpine route ticket. the prices for round trip all the way to murodo station is ¥9000 and bus from ogizawa from nagano return about ¥4800 I will recommend you to continue to the other side. #2023TravelWish #tripblazers #MyTripVlog #japan

Japan has many picture perfect spots located on the North and south island making this one of the instaworthy photo trip destinations for couples and families! One place that you have to visit especially if you have the car is to head to the Kurobe Dam located at Ashikuraji, Tateyama, Nakaniikawa District, Toyama 930-1406. Although this isn't the biggest dam in Japan, but this place promises an amazing view from the 186m dam overlooking the beautiful lake where you have to climb a long flight of stairs. There is also a memorial to remember the 100 over people who lost their life while building the dam. It is just amazing how in the 1900s such a magnificent dam is being built without the use of our modern machineries. #celebratewithtrip #dam #japan #kurobedam #view #scenic #viewpoint #lake

Toyama Prefecture Kurobe Dam You can see the dam up close, and it is spectacular during the time when water is released. You can walk beside the dam. During the tourist season, they release water for tourists. Kurobe Dam is part of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route tour, and I passed through the alpine route. I highly recommend this route. #BreathtakingView #KurobeDam #ToyamaPrefecture

Travelling the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in late October allows you to see the fall foliage color at its peak in Ogizawa and Kurobe dam areas. Although the route is most famous for its gigantic snow wall (available for sightseeing in Spring - early Summer), Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is also a great place for fall foliage viewing.

Picture 5: From the platform at Ogizawa station Picture 6-8: The view from Kurobe Dam Please note that there is no water discharge at Kurobe Dam after October 15, but I think the fall foliage and the route itself are already worth sightseeing! #kurobedam #fallfoliage #tateyamakurobealpineroute #japan

I went to Kurobe Dam from Ogizawa Station 🚍 It takes about 15 minutes by electric bus from Ogizawa Station to Kurobe Dam. It costs 3,200 yen round trip. The station comes into view after passing through a long tunnel and a fault zone. There is also an exhibition where you can see the process of building Kurobe Dam, and you can learn about its history. You can eat dam curry in the eat-in space 🍛 There is also a souvenir corner! My recommendation is this hashi cider Cider made from water collected from the fault zone 🥤 You should definitely visit Kurobe Dam at least once! #Furitabi

It was a trip to Toyama, Japan. When I visited Toyama, I discovered that this charming city offers a mix of stunning natural beauty, cultural experiences, and delicious local cuisine. I began my exploration at Toyama Castle Park, a beautiful historical site right in the city center. The reconstructed castle offers a fascinating glimpse into the region's feudal past, and the surrounding park is perfect for a leisurely stroll. 📍Honmaru, Toyama, 930-0081 💰* ¥210 I also visited the Toyama Glass Art Museum. The architecture alone is worth the visit, but the real highlight is the collection of contemporary glass artworks, which is simply stunning. The exhibits are beautifully curated, offering a modern contrast to the historical castle 🙌🙌🙌 📍5-1 Nishicho, Toyama, 930-0062 💰 ¥800 After exploring, I had lunch at Sushi Dai Toyama, a fantastic place to try some of the freshest sushi 🍣 I've ever had. I would suggest trying their Masu-no-sushi, a type of pressed trout sushi that Toyama is famous for. The flavors are delicate and fresh, perfectly paired with the local sake 🍵 📍1-220 Sougawa, Toyama, 930-0083 💰 Around ¥3,000 I took a day trip to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. This is a must-do if you're in Toyama! The scenic journey through the Japanese Alps is breathtaking, with highlights like the majestic Kurobe Dam and the incredible snow walls in spring 😍 I’d recommend starting early in the morning to make the most of the day. 📍Tateyama Station, 68 Ashikuraji, Tateyama, Nakaniikawa District, Toyama 930-1405 💰Varies (around ¥10,000 for a full pass) After a day of adventure, I dined at Minamoto Shokudo, a cozy local eatery that serves Toyama's famed white shrimp tempura. The crispy tempura with a side of rice and miso soup was comforting after a long day, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. 📍3-1, Minami-cho, Toyama, 930-0087 💰 Around ¥2,000 I also visited the Ishiuchi Soba Village, a great spot to experience local culture and enjoy hand-made soba noodles. Watching the noodles being made from scratch was a treat, and the flavor was wonderfully earthy and chewy. 📍Ishiuchi, Toyama, 930-0835 💰 Soba set meal around ¥1,500 Last but not least, I stopped by Café Musetti, a lovely café in Toyama Station that serves delightful pastries and tea. It's a great place to relax, people-watch, and soak in the last few hours in this beautiful city. 📍1-227-5 Meirincho, Toyama, 930-0001 💰Around ¥1,000 #japantrip #trip #Vacation

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

Kurobe Dam is a tourist spot on the Tateyama Alpine Route. You can travel from Takayama or Nagano. How to get there If you come from Nagano, you can take a bus from Nagano Station to Ogizawa (about 1.5 hours) and then take an electric bus to the dam. You can walk up to the viewpoint on top or cross the bridge to the other side. There is a pier where you can take a boat ride to see the dam. During the autumn foliage season, you will see the mountains full of colors from nature. Take a leisurely stroll before taking the cable car to the next station. #Japan #tripfreeaccommodation #traveljapan #traveljapanbyyourself #japanalps #naganojapan #nagano

#wheretogo Kurobe Dam in Japan offers an enchanting glimpse into the country's captivating natural landscapes. The surroundings are a testament to the sheer beauty that Japan's scenery can provide. However, it's important to be aware that reaching the observatory involves a physically demanding climb. With roughly 260 to 280 steps to ascend and descend, it's an endeavor that demands stamina and may not be suitable for those who are not in good physical shape. The views from the observatory are undoubtedly worth the effort, but it's essential to come prepared. A key point to remember is that Kurobe Dam is only open for discharges starting late in June, a moment when nature's grandeur reaches its peak. Witnessing the release of water from the dam adds a unique and thrilling dimension to the experience. To fully explore and savor the surroundings, it's advisable to allocate at least an hour. For those seeking a more relaxed approach to taking in the scenery, there's the option of a 30-minute scenic cruise, available for an additional charge. This provides an opportunity to appreciate the beauty without the physical exertion of climbing. In conclusion, Kurobe Dam is a destination where nature's beauty shines brilliantly, although it requires a certain level of physical fitness to fully enjoy the observatory climb. Timing your visit to coincide with the dam's discharge enhances the experience, and the scenic cruise offers an alternative way to bask in the surroundings. It's a location that promises to leave an enduring impression on anyone who values Japan's magnificent natural landscapes.
