Good to know
Don’t rush across the dam—pause and feel it. Stand in the middle of Kurobe Dam and close your eyes. You’ll hear only wind, water, and mountains—it’s a moment you won’t forget.
Arrive early, and the snow corridor is yours. The 20-meter Snow Wall is magical at any time, but in the early morning, it’s quiet, untouched, and absolutely surreal.
At 2,450m, the air is different—breathe deeply. At Murodo, take a moment to sit, slow down, and just… breathe. The mountain air feels cleaner, calmer, almost sacred.
Look down—not just up. Tiny alpine flowers bloom where snow has just melted. They’re easy to miss but incredibly beautiful and fleeting.
Try the “gohei mochi” at the mountain station. Grilled rice on a stick, brushed with sweet miso—simple, warm, and unforgettable with a view of the peaks.
