Setting-off relatively early on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route to visit Kurobe Dam in late July, I was a little un-nerved to observe that most of my fellow passengers on the Tateyama Highland Bus from Bijodaira to Murodo were dressed in "all-weather" gear. I, on the other hand, was dressed expecting warmer weather. All was revealed on arrival at Murodo, when just a few passengers moved forward to catch the Tateyama Tunnel Trolley Bus, whereas the "all-weather" travellers headed off in the opposite direction for a days' hiking from Murodo. Murodo is located at an elevation some 1,000m higher than Kurobe Dam, so there is a considerable difference in the respective temperatures between the two locations.

I went there on 26 Oct and there is no red leaves but the transport throughout the Tateyama-Kurobe alpine route is very smooth.

The course was easy to walk with nicely paved boardwalks and steps and you dun need hiking gears. I just walk with my sneakers. You may get some wet mud on your shoes if you went to the lookout for the “hell valley”. …
