Let’s go all the way to Kurobe Tateyama. Kurobe Tateyama is most famous for taking 7 types of transportation . Now let’s experience Tateyama Kurobe, Kurobe Tateyama Alps, and the Japanese Alps. The Kurobe Reservoir is not only Tateyama. Kurobe's famous attraction is also one of Japan's representative reservoirs. This attraction is not inferior to its snow wall. When you come to Kurobe Dam, you actually see more and more intensely when you look at this dam. What is more and more intense? The local people who built this dam at the time were great at releasing water for sightseeing from June to October every year, which attracted a large number of tourists to come every year after the opening of Mount Kurobe Tateyama . I will definitely pass by the Kurobe Dam along the way to see this shocking Kurobe Dam. What you see at the Kurobe Dam is sometimes the people, not necessarily the scenery. Why do I say that sometimes you see the people ? How to build this place ? The Kurobe Dam built by Nishi Electric Power Company is actually officially called the Kurobe Fourth Power Station. It was completed in 1963 and is the highest and largest dam in Japan. It mobilized 10 million people that year , which is equivalent to half of the people in Taiwan. The dam work cost more than 50 billion yen and took a total of 7 years to be built. Many stories happened during this process. So a man-made dam like this, a dam of this scale, was actually built with blood, sweat, and tears. It's an epic project , so when you look at something, you can't just look at its surface. You have to see its inside . Only when you see the inside can you think of the eternal future of building such a dam. So I said that there are a lot of people who come here to see it. It’s time to look at the real underlying purpose behind this dam. The Kansai Dam was built when Japan’s economy took off and Japan needed a lot of electricity when it was built. When Japan’s economy took off, it needed electricity, so it’s different from the Kanto Electric Power Company, which all uses nuclear power to generate electricity. Kansai Electric Power Company chose to use natural resources as the main driving force for power generation, so it focused on the Kurobe Gorge, which had abundant water at the time and had a great height difference, for hydropower generation. During the Kurobe Dam project , it encountered many difficulties that ordinary people can’t imagine. In this mountainous area with the steepest mountains in Japan, many roads here are snowy and impassable in winter. Needless to say, there is also snow in the deep mountains, high mountains, and high mountains. Snow needs to be transported to the top to build dams and materials and equipment must be transported. The mountains near the Kurobe Dam are closed in winter , so it is very difficult to progress the project, right ? Especially during tunnel excavation in such a harsh environment,
we encountered the same situation as the snowy mountain tunnel back then, right here. Having a so-called crushing zone means that you are excavating, you are excavating, and you are building. This piece of land cannot be built. These crushing zones gushed out a large amount of ice water at that time, causing countless casualties to the construction workers . You can imagine the hardships of the project due to the wear and tear of the equipment and the harsh environment at that time. Therefore, the story of the huge Kurobe Dam project has always had a place in the hearts of the Japanese , and everyone spontaneously respects the Kurobe Dam, so in In Japan, you can see that they respect many great heroes and will not destroy them. They believe that this is a national character given to them by God. They are very respectful. I always see Japanese people appreciating and admiring with a feeling of nostalgia. They are grateful to Taiwan for the endless blessings this dam has brought to their descendants. Can we do it? If we can't, we must try to do it. Because if people have a grateful heart, if people have a satisfied heart, in this world It will be better and fewer people will care about it. Kurobe Dam can produce about 110,000 watts of power every year and provide electricity for 1 million families for a whole year. Regardless of the manpower and material resources at the time when the dam was built , It is an unprecedented and shocking building. Kansai Electric Power Company can be said to have bet the future of the entire company for this dam . This is Kurobe Dam. Now from Kurobe Dam, we continue to go and continue to take transportation to see the next scenic spot. This is what we saw when we went up the mountain. The sight of the cable car and the tram coming down. This shot can be seen in almost all Tateyama movies. Come and come. The car is slowly going down. Have you seen the slowly going down Kurobe Tateyama every year? Almost every time we open the snow wall , we will come in during the second to third week . Why is it the second or third week? Because it is less crowded when we come in the second or third week. People often say that they are afraid of crowds when traveling abroad. Some people are afraid of taking long-distance cars. Some people are afraid of taking long-distance planes, so they often hear different voices. Some people feel that taking a car for too long is too tiring. But if you want to come to this country, you actually need to know a little bit about how long it takes to take a car. This is a must. Some people say that it takes too long to take a car . To put it bluntly , except for places like Hong Kong and Singapore, it doesn’t take too long to take a car. In most foreign countries, we, Taiwan, are very small and casual. Most of the countries are bigger than our Taiwan , and some of the scenic spots are very mysterious, some are in the suburbs, and some of them just take such a long time to sit there, so if you want to say it is special, you have to tell him that the road is relatively close. Difficulties came when we arrived at Kurobedaira. Transportation is definitely one of the most important sightseeing itineraries in Kurobetateyama. Kurobedaira is sandwiched between the East and West Tateyama Mountain Range and the Houtateyama Mountain Range. Its continuous mountain scenery is in Kurobe Tateyama. Another wonderful and unique scenery during the trip is that from here you can directly see the flat and vast fields between Kurobedaira and Daikanbo. In every season , especially in this season, you can see snow and mountain scenery at the same time . When autumn comes, it can be seen as three colors of scenery, but Tateyama Kurobe is like this. Autumn scenery and winter scenery. Winter scenery, snow wall scenery, is easier to catch because this snow wall scenery lasts longer. Tateyama Kurobe has the roof of Japan, the Japanese Alps. It is known as Japan’s most famous mountain tourism and Japan’s Mount Fuji. Along with Japan's Hakusan Mountain, it is regarded as one of Japan's three major sacred mountains . The Holy Mountain is here because of the Kurobe Tateyama dam that was dug at that time . Of course , it also created many special means of transportation because of its dam. In principle, we call it Roku. You can choose seven kinds of transportation. You can go from Tateyama Station of Toyama Regional Railway to Ogizawa in Nagano Prefecture. The total length of the mountain road is about 86 kilometers. You can take 6 kinds of transportation , including mountain railway, cable car, plateau bus, trackless tunnel train. Aerial cable cars, underground trams, trackless trams, etc., the means of transportation along the road will first let you feel the difference of this mountain. When you come to a mountain , you need to change so many means of transportation. This means that the mountain road of this mountain is very varied , so at every stage It must use different means of transportation to get you up the mountain , so taking transportation is also the most important part of the itinerary in Tateyama Kurobe when visiting Tateyama Kurobe. The Japanese call it Tateyama Kurobe. Every time I visit this scenic spot, I will say that the Japanese call it Tateyama Kurobe. We call it Kurobe Tateyama. In fact, it is very simple. It is colloquial . I don’t know how long ago Taiwan’s travel agencies started naming it with a more colloquial name. Kurobe refers to Kurobe Gorge and Kurobe Lake. Tateyama refers to the peaks of Tateyama. In fact, these two places are completely separate . It is united together in Fujiyama Prefecture, Japan. Toyama Prefecture is not Mount Fuji. Toyama Prefecture is not the place. Then along the way we will pass the beauty Taira Midahara Tengudaira Grand View Peak and so on , and then have a meal at Kurobedaira. Then wait a moment and we will start from this place. After getting up from the mountain cable car, we will take the Tateyama aerial ropeway and then the Daikanbo peak, etc. Our trip will start from Ogizawa or the forward or reverse route on the other side. We can start from Ogizawa and get off at Tateyama Station , or we can go from Tateyama. Get on the train at the station and get off from Ogizawa. I mentioned the aerial cable car a little bit earlier. Laiyo, oh, this is such a wonderful and beautiful view. When you get on the aerial cable car , you can actually feel the scenery in front of you a little bit. This continuous mountain peak is Tateyama. It’s strange why such a beautiful scenery and such a special place has only been developed in the past ten years. It’s strange why Taiwan didn’t seem to have a special hype for this place 20 years ago . It should come from a different perspective. I don’t know if you still remember it . 25 to 30 years ago , tour fares in Japan were very, very expensive . At that time , if you were a veteran of Japan in Taiwan, you should know that planes in Taiwan could only fly to Haneda Airport. At that time, there was a dispute between Taiwan and China. Of course, there were many people in China. Of course, at that time, he was not willing to allow Taiwan to park in the name of its own independent country at Haneda Airport in Japan, so it was very troublesome. At that time, Taiwan's planes must have We had to stop at Haneda Airport and then go to EVA Air, because they did not fly the national flag. I don’t know if you remember that in the early days, China Airlines had a flag of the Republic of China on its tail, and it continued to EVA Air until later times. Slowly evolved to the point that in Taiwan, you can now park in Haneda or Narita. Haneda is very close to downtown Tokyo, while Narita is a little farther from downtown Tokyo. The increase in the first flight is a big reason. Secondly, the depreciation of Japan's exchange rate is also a major reason. Finally, Taiwanese people have slowly learned that travel is an indispensable part of life, so traveling abroad has become a national movement. Many people, from old to young, It is an activity that everyone will definitely engage in because of the crowds and the number of people. This market is slowly changing, so slowly more and more people in Japan are coming to this market . Because Japan is focused on the overall environmental planning and packaging. His humanistic qualities are very good , so the number of Taiwanese people in Japan may turn from 12300 to tens of thousands, and there will be more and more people. Therefore, the amount of the group plus various economic factors will increase the tour fee in Japan. It's going down , but of course if you want to stay in a very high-end hotel, your tour fee for Japan will still be very high and soaring up . So this is why Japan has slowly become a very high- end hotel in the past few years. A situation where many people come to travel. I believe that n years ago , there were not many people who actually came to Japan. And the tour fee for places like Kurobe Tateyama or Tateyama Kurobe was more than 70,000 yuan. It really used to be. Anyone who has been here should know that it is very expensive, very very expensive. However, due to various conditions that meet this factor, the overall tour price in Japan , including the exchange rate, has been driven down due to the competition for flights. That’s why today we are able to come to Japan so frequently and conveniently. In contrast, more and more people now have a very improved concept of traveling, and the improvement is getting higher and higher, and they are less likely to think about themselves. Traveling again is different from the way I used to travel when I first started traveling. Of course, as I said before , Taiwan has not yet been able to improve its self-awareness. Sometimes, we still don’t know how to do as the locals do when we arrive. We often still see a Things will be done in a way. Why can't you do this? When things are done well, you will use your own ideas to control everything during the trip. When you can't control the things during the trip, you will sometimes feel unhappy . I feel that every tourist should go there again. I think it is a place where I can further study and strengthen my skills . After all, the state-owned legal family has family rules. Not every place can follow your will. No matter what you want to call it, you can call it a snow wall. No matter what you want, you can call it a snow wall. Regardless of whether it is a snow wall or a snow wall , it will make people excited to come out and see it. Tateyama Tateyama’s Snow Wall Alpine Route Tateyama Murodo is a Japanese National Mountain Park with an altitude of 2,450 meters. The place where you can see the snow wall is also called Murodo. The height here varies every year. I heard that the highest height was 18 meters . The record is 17 and 18. It’s normal. It’s the same every year. The snow-white scenery is breathtaking. When walking on the road, you accidentally bump into someone else. Maybe you say thank you in Taiwanese and he will tell you that it doesn’t matter because this place opens a mountain every year. In the first two months, I told you that Taiwanese people do n’t mean many. They account for more than half. They are all Taiwanese. They are beautiful. They are good , very beautiful . If you have a chance, come again . Come again . It’s convenient. It’s not too far away, right? Every Taiwanese It is opening every year and now it is getting harder and harder to book a room. The mountain opens almost every year in April . Sometimes it is too late to book in January. Around the end of the year, in December, we start booking trips to Kurobe Tateyama. This wonder of nature will never let you understand it. Why does it snow so much? In this region of Asia, with such latitudes, the depth of snow sometimes exceeds the places where it snows on many tourist routes. No wonder you see , especially this bus driving next to the snow wall, it is really special. In fact, I can tell you a little secret. The snow wall is not only found in Tateyama Kurobe. In fact, there are many places in Japan that will have this kind of scenery when winter is about to end. But first of all, it does not take six or seven types of transportation. Tools go up the mountain. The second thing is that it is not as high and majestic as the snow wall of Tateyama Kurobe. As we see on the right and left of the picture , there is also a view on the left and even half of the view on the left. So in fact, in many places in Japan, in winter because of geography There are also some places in the environment where it is easy for snowy clouds to accumulate. It snows here. Therefore, there are many places in Japan where heavy snow falls in winter. These heavy snows form the most characteristic snow scene in this scene. The wall view will definitely shock you when you come here. Only from the end of April to May can you have the opportunity to see the 20 The highest height is 18, 19, 20 meters, and it stretches for several kilometers. Tateyama is covered with snow for about four months. Now, the places we go to are basically sealed in winter to prevent people from walking in order to facilitate the opening of the two places. So probably in the spring, the Tateyama Kurobe Sightseeing Railway will use snow removal trucks to plow out a lane , because there are snow walls on both sides of the road. The snow walls are sometimes more than 20 meters long. So why does this snow happen for no reason? In fact, the most primitive part of the wall was because the snow was too deep. But in the spring, they still had to make transportation between the two places , so their public affairs bureau used snowplows to drive out this road. Snowplows drove out. The Alpine Route was originally created to allow vehicles to travel, especially the road between Tateyama Tengudaira and Murodo. This snowy valley was gradually transformed into a travel agency. It was amazing when people came here . In fact, we have been vigorously advocating that Japan would join us to create a new tourist route . It was officially packaged 20 years ago and has achieved very good sales results in Taiwan . Today, almost everyone in Taiwan has reached April. I always think of Tateyama Kurobe. I have never been there, and I have heard people say that I should visit it once. This stick represents how high it was at that time, and it was scary . It was really high , and every year in April, there is snow. There will also be hiking activities in Otani. Visitors can walk in it, which will bring a bit of warmth, the shock of the snow wall , and a hint of spring. So at this time, you can enjoy cherry blossoms from the plains all the way to Tateyama Snow Otani. The Kurobe Gorge surrounded by the Tateyama chain is the largest canyon in Japan , so it is called the Tateyama Mountain Range. The Kurobe Gorge is simply called Tateyama Kurobe. The climate here is rainy and snowy, so that’s why there is Kurobe Dam , right ? What does Amagai Dam do? Nature is in a well-preserved state, almost pristine , and the Kurobe water has a huge drop. The best part about building hydroelectric power is in front of the Kurobe Dam, which was built in 1956 by Kansai Electric Power Co., Ltd. and it took 7 years to apply scientific knowledge extensively. We have already seen it. We walked to the back to see the various means of transportation left over from the construction of the dam in Kurobe Tateyama and even the excavated Tateyama Snow Wall. Let’s come to Tateyama Snow again in the spring. No matter how you walk on the wall , you never get tired of it. No matter how you walk, the snow is shocking. No matter how you look at it, it makes people want to move this scenery back to my house. I don’t know how good the snow will be. It’s like this . Some people say that it’s boring after looking at it for a long time. In fact, it’s not this white. The clean and translucent feeling is very good. Tateyama has been a famous mountain for mountain worship since ancient times. Tateyama is also a famous mountain for spiritual practice that has been famous in Japan since ancient times. This place also has the smell of hot springs and sulfur. You can smell it here. There is also Hell Valley, which is barren of grass. Tateyama is the largest. From here you can see the volcanic lake, the valley where the snow does not melt in summer, and here you can see the fresh green snow wall from spring to the red leaves in autumn. There is only one place , this snow wall . I want to see it snow in winter. It's impossible. It has an open space. Only in one place. Most of the mountains are closed. There is an endless stream of climbers who come to enjoy the scenery of the four seasons throughout the year. This place , especially Murodo, is where Snow Otani is. This is Kurobe Tateyama. The most charming place, the most charming place, experience the Tateyama Electric Cable Car and take the plateau bus, both of which consume electricity. Their environmental protection and their approach are breathtaking.
