Massive Snow Wall Walk: Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route, Japan | Best places | 1 Day Travel ☆ Trip dude
Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a once a lifetime experience; it is a full day trip from Toyama to Ogizawa. Time your visit well, best when the snow corridor is still standing tall.
The route is 37 kilometres (23 mi), with a vertical interval of as much as 1,975 metres (6,480 ft). There are seven different transportation services using five different modes, namely funicular, bus, trolleybus, aerial tramway, and walking. The route is built so that the surrounding environment is not damaged. Three lines go through tunnels (to protect them from snow), among which are two trolleybus lines, the last in Japan, because they do not exhaust fumes in the tunnels.
The route goes through Tateyama in the Hida Mountains with many scenic sites as well as walking trails, including Japan's largest dam, Kurobe dam. Some stations have hotels around them and are used as bases for mountain climbing or trekking, mainly near Tateyama Station as well as up on the mountain by Murodo Station.
There are many sights along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. From the highest to the lowest, these sights include the following.
Located by Oyama peak is Oyama Shrine, where climbers can receive a blessing and warm sake from a priest. There is also a rest area where climbers may buy food, drinks, and souvenirs. This peak is better known but it is some way from the highest point of the mountain (Onanjiyama).
Located on Murodo Plateau from Murodō Station is a shopping area and onsen bath. The onsen on Tateyama is famously known for its use of sulfur spring water for the bath, leaving a noticeable aroma that can be detected even while ascending the mountain. Visitors can also find several hiking and walking paths that take them through the beautiful valleys, and take a look at Devil's Valley (Jigokudani). With many volcanic areas in Japan by the same name, visitors are no longer able to walk within the sulfur valley due to gas-related safety concerns.
From April 15 to mid-June, one can enjoy the sparkling snow walls named Yukino-ōtani, which tower anywhere from 15 to 20 meters high (roughly 50 to 65 feet). They flank the road leading to Murodo Station, where visitors can enjoy hot, delicious food after walking between the impressive, but chilly, snow walls. There are many charter services from Taipei, Inchon and Thailand during the high season to reach Murodo at this time.
From Murodo, visitors can also reach Kurobe Dam, which stands at 186 meters (610 feet), making it the tallest dam in Japan. From Murodō Station, visitors should take the Tateyama Tunnel Trolleybus (10 minutes), followed by the Tateyama Ropeway (7 minutes), and finally the Kurobe Cable Car (5 minutes). From the last stop, a 15-minute walk will take visitors to the dam.
Midagahara is a flat walking area filled with flowing plains interrupted by blue ponds. Near the bus stop that returns visitors to Bijodaira back down the mountain is a slightly hidden walking path. Midagahara is accessible from Tateyama Station via the Tateyama Cable Car (7 minutes) followed by Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route bus (about 40 minutes) that goes in the direction of Murodō Station.
On clear days, climbers can see Shōmyō Falls (the tallest waterfall in Japan) across the valley while traveling along the main road from Tateyama Station to the Murodo Plateau. For a closer look, visitors can take a bus from Tateyama Station to the Shōmyō Falls stop (about 20 minutes). From there, visitors can walk to the falls up a steady slope (about 20 minutes). There is a large bridge as well as two viewing platforms to get views of the Falls.
The section between Kurobe Dam and Ōgisawa was originally made for construction of the dam, while the section between Tateyama and Kurobeko was for tourists from the beginning. Currently, the route is purely a sightseeing one, only used by tourists. Although this is the only route that directly links Toyama and Nagano, it is impractical for normal users as it takes 6 transfers, roughly 5 hours.

Best Tokyo Sky Tree and Cherry Blossoms
It is a hidden cherry blossom viewing spot that only the locals know.
Because there is Sumida Park nearby and everyone goes to Sumida Park.
You can also enjoy Sumida Park, but you can see the Sky Tree on the other side of the cherry blossoms from this Sai Yabori Park.
You can not see this view from Sumida Park.
There is no doubt that you will be moved.
My name is Kazunori Ogata .
I traveled the world for several years.
All countries in the world are wonderful.
Japan is a good country, but I feel that information has not been transmitted to the world.
In addition to tourist books and information on the Internet, there are good places in Japan.
I created this channel to convey the good places in Japan to people around the world.
This channel introduces recommended places in Japan.
If you have any concerns, please contact me via comment or Twitter.

Portland Cherry Blossoms 2018 [4K]
One of the best places to view cherry blossoms in Portland is at the north end of Waterfront Park in the Japanese-American Historical Plaza. Dedicated in August 1990, the plaza’s living glory is the double row of Akebono cherry trees, a white-flowering cultivar that originated in Japan. Administered by the Oregon Nikkei Endowment, Inc., the plaza tells the story of Portland’s Japanese and Japanese-American community. Plaques recall the forced internment in remote inland camps of people of Japanese ancestry – whether immigrants or U.S.-born citizens – during World War II. The plaza was created with support from Portland Parks & Recreation and many others, including the Metropolitan Arts Commission, Portland Development Commission, and a number of private foundations and businesses.

【Live】Instant walk in Chichibu, Saitama
I got to Chichibu, I had no way to predict when I get to the mountain, so it's instant live.
Using Low Latency which has around 15 sec lag.
RULES
* Mention my name as @Rambalac or @RambalacLive if you want ask to make something closer or check other directions.
* Before asking check if you are really watching most recent live by clicking Live button.
* If you suggest direction do not use here as here for you is 5-10 sec past for me. Ask at least 10 sec before turn, or use big enough landmark like traffic lights or shop names.
For AfterLive discussions I created Discord server . Probably I will join to LiveStream voice channel during filming but why filming I will answer only into Youtube chat.
4K archive of this live event will be uploaded about same day but 1 hour video takes up to a week to be processed by Youtube to full 4K quality. So be patient and check .
