Journey Through Japan’s Alps | From 35°C to Summer Snow | Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route
I left the summer heat behind and set out on a journey through the Japanese Alps.
The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route crosses the mountains from Toyama to Nagano. Along the way, I take six unique rides and explore beautiful alpine scenery, lingering summer snow, Mikurigaike Pond, and the magnificent Kurobe Dam.
I hope this quiet journey brings you a peaceful moment.
If you enjoyed the journey, please let me know in the comments 😊

I visited Tateyama Kurobe last autumn and it looked wonderful. I also walked on the scary stairs in Kurobe dam. I'm happy to see its beauty during summer in the video, and such great weather! It is a place I want to revisit again and again in other seasons, hopefully stay a night there. 😊The place looks wonderful all year around!
とてもステキな景色をありがとうございます😊立山黒部アルペンルート、以前ツアーで行ったことがあります。5月の連休で、雪壁がスゴかったのをおほえています。夏もいいですね。当日券もあるのですね。連休だと売り切れるのでしょうか？旅行の行程は何日ですか。いろいろ聞いてすみません💦
Incredible views. In Canada I've lived by the Great Lakes, the prairies, in boreal forests and next to the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. But I've never felt so at home as when living in the mountains. Your video reminds me how much I enjoyed living in the Rocky Mountains. Thank you 🙏
When did you go to these place? Love so much the video. So beautiful and breathtaking
I went here 2 weeks ago and I took the Nagano to Toyama direction instead! The temperature was very pleasant at 20 degrees on Murodo while it was 30 degrees in Nagano😖I thought this would look amazing in autumn/winter. Thanks for the video!
BGMが暗いな。
Q lindo são os "Alpes Japoneses"😍😍😍 from BRAZIL 🇧🇷
I just got back from Nagoya, I wish I've seen your vlog earlier. How many hours total was the whole trek?
How cold was it In July in Tateyama Kurobe, what kind of gear do you have to wear during summer Season? Thank you for sharing this
Japan so beautiful❤❤
I’d love the idea of living in Japan for a year. Unfortunately, remote-work opportunities can be harder to secure for those of us based in Asia. Still, I’m building my side business now, and I’m hoping it will soon give me the freedom to travel and live abroad with my wife.
It's my dream destination in Japan too! ❤️ Thanks for uploading such a beautiful video. 🫰 Was this whole journey just a one-day trip?
映像も綺麗でBGMもゆったりして、とても良かったです。興味があった立山黒部アルペンルートに益々行きたくなりました！
Great Video! I like it! 😊
こんにちは。
素敵な動画で思わず見入ってしまいました！
私も数日後に富山へ行くのですが、こちらの動画は何月ごろ撮影されたものでしょうか？
すてきな動画で疲れていた心がゆっくり癒されます☺️
見ていたらわたしも旅に行きたいなーと思い早速計画！これからも動画楽しみにしています🌷
Greetings from Canada. My wife and I did this trip last October, it was very tiring but 100% worth it.
僕も去年の夏に行きましたhttps://youtube.com/shorts/Oo2NOBpnNZY?si=fjjhR8yai1Izh8D8
Toyama Prefecture is known for its lack of sunny days. In order to fully enjoy the beautiful scenery, it is a good idea to come on a sunny day. But it is very hot now, lol.
動画のクオリティがめちゃくちゃ高いですね。ありがとうございました(^^)
8万回視聴って凄い！エマさんのチャンネルは絶対いつか伸びると思っていました❣️だって映像が素敵すぎますから❤
資金がないので行く事は叶いませんが、この動画で行った気持ちになりました。アルプスの山々は本当に美しい、動画を観てそれに尽きました。私にとっては貴重な動画と成りました🙏ありがとう御座います❤
何月に行かれましたか？
谢谢你的视频，计划两周后去立山黑部，给我的行程提供了很多参考
Thank you for the amazing video! Did you do everything in this video in one day?
Video please send the
10月に行くのでリサーチしていて主様の動画にたどり着きました。他のどの動画よりも分かりやすくて感動的で、素敵な景色とBGMも相まり、涙が出そうになりました😭笑動画作ってくださってありがとうございます！😭
Hi, Emma! You made a wonderful, atmospheric video! Thank you for the opportunity to experience the natural beauty of this pristine corner of our wonderful planet Earth! I'd really love to visit this corner. I saw mini glaciers. It must have been really cool there, at an altitude of over 2,300 meters (7,500 feet). I wonder if there are edelweiss flowers growing in these high-mountain meadows that I could give to my girlfriend? 😉
Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey with us, Emma💞
素晴らしい景色ですね❤
