Hello.
This time, I went to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, one of Japan’s leading mountain routes that connects Nagano Prefecture and Toyama Prefecture. The place I’ve always wanted to go to had a view that lived up to my expectations.

I was able to capture beautiful images of the sunset and snowy mountains. If you like, please try watching it on an HDR compatible display!

— For those going to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route –
If you are going to the Alpine Route, we recommend that you check the weather and clothing carefully (especially if you are going when there is still snow or if you are staying overnight in Tateyama). Also, each station may be crowded and you may not be able to board at the scheduled time. The last bus is also early, so it is better to check the timetable and make a schedule with plenty of time.
