With two pickup points in both 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.

Journey across the “Roof of Japan” with a private car and guide, where each moment is captured as a photo gift. ❑ Seasonal Highlights The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route combines electric buses, ropeways, and trolley buses to reach the 2,450m Murodo Plateau. Each season offers a highlight: 20m snow walls in April–June, cool alpine breezes in July–August, and brilliant foliage in September–October. Closed in winter, each visit is rare. ❑ Why Private? The route has many transfers and can be complex, but your English-speaking guide manages tickets, timing, and connections. With private car access to the entrance, your trip is smooth so you can focus on the scenery. ❑ A Personalized Journey Because it’s private, the pace and stops follow your interests. Linger in the Snow Corridor, relax in a café, or take a short hike—your plan adapts flexibly. We avoid crowds and share moments locals know. Treating Japan as a studio, we capture your journey and deliver photos afterward as keepsakes.

Experience the awe-inspiring Snow Wall on a day trip to Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. From Nagoya, you’ll travel to Murodo, where towering snow walls, sometimes reaching up to 20 meters high, are carved by snowplows each spring. During the winter, the area is closed due to heavy snow, but as spring approaches, snowplows work for about 2 months to create these massive snow walls. This spectacular sight, only available from April to June, offers a rare opportunity to walk through a winter wonderland as spring blooms around you. As the travel time by coach is relatively long, the itinerary includes approximately 30 minutes of free time for shopping in Tateyama City both before and after visiting Murodo. This allows you to stay refreshed and enjoy the sightseeing experience in a comfortable pace. The tour then returns to Nagoya, bringing this memorable day trip to a perfect close.
