After successively launching flights to Kagoshima and Shizuoka starting March 25, China Airlines inaugurated its Taoyuan–Toyama route on April 16. Operating twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays with Boeing 737-800 aircraft, the service offers 8 business class seats and 150 economy class seats. Coinciding with the opening of Tateyama Kurobe on April 17 this year, travelers can more conveniently visit to experience the majestic snow walls.
Currently, China Airlines operates 121 weekly flights to 12 destinations in Japan, allowing passengers to enjoy more convenient and diverse itinerary planning. (Image provided by China Airlines)
Toyama Prefecture is located in the Hokuriku region of Honshu, Japan, facing the Sea of Japan, and is equidistant from the three major metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, boasting a uniquely advantageous geographical environment. The prefecture’s famous attraction, Tateyama Kurobe’s “Great Snow Valley Walk,” allows visitors to walk among snow walls approximately 20 meters high, experiencing the awe-inspiring presence of towering snow walls. In addition, there is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Shirakawa-go Gassho Village, registered in December 1995, and Kanazawa’s Kenroku-en Garden, one of Japan’s Three Great Gardens—both are must-visit travel destinations.
To allow travelers to be among the first to experience walking among the snow walls of Tateyama Kurobe, China Airlines has set up a 6-meter-tall realistic snow wall next to its Taipei branch office on Nanjing East Road, which will be open free of charge until May 31. The public is welcome to come and personally experience what it’s like to walk through the Great Snow Valley of Tateyama Kurobe.
With the addition of the Toyama route, China Airlines not only reduces travel time to major attractions but also allows for dual-point itineraries in combination with the Nagoya route. (Image provided by China Airlines)
To celebrate the new route, China Airlines is offering promotional economy class fares as low as NT$10,300 (excluding tax) for one month for its Taoyuan–Toyama flights. It has also launched curated travel packages such as the “Toyama 4-Day-2-Night,” “Tateyama Kurobe 4-Day-1-Night,” and “Kanazawa Ancient Capital 4-Day-1-Night” themes. Travelers departing before April 30 can enjoy an adult discount of NT$1,000 and a child discount of NT$750, plus receive a set of crystal pencils. Passengers can book and issue tickets via the China Airlines website (www.china-airlines.com), directly through the China Airlines customer service center at 02-2715-1212, or via travel agencies.
