兵临城下521#ShowoffYourNewAutumnViewingPositions 🍂Tateyama Kurobe | A Pilgrimage Between Autumn Rain and Starry Skies✨
Two months in advance, I booked this off-the-beaten-path hike with a friend. Starting in Kanazawa, we journeyed through Toyama to Matsumoto. The journey felt like unboxing a gift from nature. When a downpour suddenly hit, we huddled at the station to watch the rain smudge the mountainscape like an ink painting. After the rain subsided, the saturation of the mountains suddenly intensified, as if God had overturned his palette, and every frame was breathtakingly beautiful.
This established route, opened in the 1960s, embodies the subtleties of Japanese travel: the official schedule is precise to the minute, and buses, cable cars, and hikes flow seamlessly together, even the crowdedness feels orderly. Though the path is long, you'll always find your own unique vantage point—whether you pause to watch the clouds weave a web across the mountainside, or chase fallen leaves along the pine needle-covered trail.
It's a shame I didn't get to spend a night on the mountaintop, but imagining a clear night, lying in the campground counting the stars, the Milky Way strewn across the sky like shattered diamonds, I suddenly feel like "next time" has become the most beautiful footnote to this trip.
👉If you see this, be sure to make it to this autumn date👇
