What to expect

After pickup in Nagano City, this tour takes you to the 'Roof of Japan' and the fabled Snow Walls of the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route. Situated in the dramatic alpine landscape of the Chubu Sangaku National Park, this is one of Japan’s most iconic and unique sights, accessible only in spring and early summer and via a series of different mountain transports. Led by an English-speaking guide, you will be accompanied on every leg of your journey to the 'Roof of Japan' and back down again – the perfect way to experience one of Japan’s more remote and stunning landscapes.

  • Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Please wear suitable shoes for walking through snow and cold conditions (with the possibility of temperatures below 0°C).
  • Please bring sunglasses as the snow in combination with sunlight can produce intense glare. We also recommend wearing snowboots or good quality walking boots, if you wish to walk on the snowfields.
  • This tour is not wheelchair accessible and may not be suitable for mobility-impaired travellers. Should you have any concerns about your ability to join the tour, please contact us to discuss prior to booking.
  • This tour does not include lunch. Food can be purchased at different mountain stations with different restaurants to choose from at the summit.
  • The Snow Wall walking corridor is subject to sudden closure by local alpine authorities due to high winds, heavy snow, or safety concerns. Please note that if the walking corridor closes but mountain transportation remains operational, the tour will proceed with alternative indoor/outdoor alpine viewing, and no refunds will be issued. Full refunds are only provided if the entire transport route to the mountain is canceled prior to departure.
  • The itinerary is based on the traffic conditions being optimal. We will adjust the schedule according to traffic conditions and pace of the group on the day of the tour.
