Itinerary
Tour Itinerary
After about an hour and a half we will arrive at the base of Mt 1 hour
After about an hour and a half we will arrive at the base of Mt. Tateyama at Oyama Shrine. This was where most hikers and pilgrims would start their ascent to the top of the mountain, the same area where we will be going later. Mt. Tateyama was worshipped as a place of hell and heaven and in this town, you can see the hell side of the mountain. Enma-do is unusual as it is a place to worship Enma, the god that decides who goes to heaven and hell. Down the ravine slightly is also the bridge that represents the divide between the world of the living and the world of the dead. After that little bit of exploration we will hop back on the bus and restart our journey to the top.
Arrive at Murodo Station 5 hours
Arrive at Murodo Station. Walk along the intimidating snow walls and across the snow fields on the "Roof of Japan." Enjoy the winter wonderland at the top of the Tateyama mountain range. Vast amounts of snow fall on the landscape each winter making it inaccessible until spring brings warming temperatures and the chance to carve a route through the ice. Rising up to 20 meters above, the stunning snow corridor is one of Japan’s most iconic sights dwarfing people and tours buses alike! Your guide will allow you between 1.5-2 hours to stroll the area (depending on the pace of your), including time to explore the museum and surrounding area. At 15:30, group back up and begin your journey back to Tateyama Station. Arrive back at Tateyama Station and get on the tour bus back to Kanazawa Station as you edit the great pictures of all the natural beauty you saw during the trip. Estimated arrival time back at Kanazawa Station is 19:00
