    Nakanishikawa-gun, Toyama Prefecture
    The station stands as if jutting out from the eastern cliff of the Tateyama Mountain Range. It was built by transporting materials by helicopter. From the observatory on the rooftop of the station building, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Ushiro-Tateyama Mountain Range and Lake Kurobe. It is also famous for its autumn leaves, and the view from the ropeway, usually from mid-September to early October, is truly magnificent.

Toyama Areas

Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
