City Overview
The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, which runs from Tateyama to Omachi, Nagano Prefecture, is the highlight of sightseeing. It is one of the world's leading mountain sightseeing routes that runs through the Northern Alps, where peaks of 3,000m are located, and attracts many tourists. Enjoy the dynamic natural beauty while connecting the cable car and the ropeway, as well as the Torocco train, where travel is stirred up in a retro atmosphere. The Goshiyama-Gassho-zukuri settlement, a world heritage site, is a popular spot where you can get a glimpse of Japan's good old days.
