Daikanbo & Kurobedaira
大観峰・黒部平
Ride the pillarless Tateyama Ropeway between Daikanbo and Kurobedaira, looking down over Kurobe Lake and the Ura-Tateyama range.
From Murodo, the Tateyama Tunnel electric bus takes about 10 minutes to reach Daikanbo Station. From the observation deck at the top station you can look down over Kurobe Lake and the Ura-Tateyama mountains. The Tateyama Ropeway connects Daikanbo with Kurobedaira. It covers about 1.7 km with no pillars along the way and takes about 7 minutes, earning it the nickname “moving observation deck.” Kurobedaira has an alpine plant garden and viewing platforms. From there, transfer to the Underground Kurobe Cable Car to reach Kurobe Lake. During the autumn foliage season the wait at lunchtime can be long, so you can pause at the Daikanbo observation deck to avoid the crowds.
