Tateyama Cable Car

This cable car was once used to carry the materials used to build Kurobe Dam. Currently, it serves as a means of transportation between Tateyama Station and Bijodaira Station on the Kurobe Alpen Route. The cable car, which acts as the entrance to the Alpen Route, takes seven minutes to complete the 1.3 kilometer-long journey 500 meters up the mountain's surface. Passengers can enjoy watching the appearance of the forest dynamically change as the car climbs higher and higher up the mountain. In some places you can see pillar-like formations of exposed rock known as columnar jointing. Sightseeing information is broadcast on the intercom during the ride, which increases passengers' excitement for the upcoming parts of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpen Route.
