Known as the Japanese Alps, the Tateyama Kurobe region boasts breathtaking alpine vistas with peaks nearing 3,000 meters, scenic railway canyons, and majestic mountain scenery that captivate visitors. Not only that, the UNESCO World Heritage Five..., Japan’s first..., the Chubu-Sangaku National Park, and with the opening of direct flights from Taiwan, traveling to the area has become even more convenient. This coming Friday (June 1) afternoon from 15:00 to 18:00, Toyama Prefecture Governor Takashi Ishii will appear at Taipei Main Station. A traditional troupe from Nanto City in Toyama Prefecture, the Echigo-Nishiki Yahime Group, will perform the local folk art of Wind God Taiko Drumming. Lucky attendees may even get to take home tulips from Toyama Prefecture.

Who says you can’t enjoy snow in early summer? Located on the northwestern side of central Honshu, Toyama Prefecture is surrounded by towering mountains, and its expansive highland snowscapes are a product of its continuous mountain ranges. Known as the Japanese Alps, the Tateyama Kurobe region is world-renowned for its alpine landscapes. The snow walls, canyon railways, and mountain scenery attract large numbers of visitors every year from April to June for a cool escape. This year, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route's Great Snow Valley opened on April 17th. Strolling through the Great Snow Valley on foot to admire the grand, majestic snow walls has always been one of the most popular and iconic ways to experience the area.

The regular Toyama flights, which run once every Monday and Friday, not only significantly reduce travel time to the Tateyama Kurobe region but also offer more flexible travel options to the prefecture. In addition, the UNESCO World Heritage Five..., featuring traditional architecture with 60-degree gabled roofs, presents a serene and peaceful scene against the backdrop of spring’s fresh greenery. The nostalgic Kurobe Gorge Railway travels through Japan’s deepest and largest V-shaped Kurobe Gorge, offering an easy and enjoyable way to take in the dramatic cliffs.
