Snow Corridor, Daio Wasabi Farm and Shosenkyo Gorge Trip
Explore the beautiful Shosenkyo Gorge, the largest Wasabi Farm, the spectacular Tateyama Kurobe Alpen Route and the jaw-dropping Snow Corridor!
This Trip Features;
- Shosenkyo Gorge is said to be the most spectacular gorge in Japan. Its breathtaking natural scenery have made it a unique and popular destination among those who wish to connect with nature. You can enjoy fantastic views of sheer cliff faces formed through thousands of years of erosion amidst uniquely shaped rocks, some of which are said to resemble animals (monkey, turtle, seal, etc.). The gorge is registered as one of Japan’s National Heritage sites.
- Sengataki Falls is one of the most stunning and photogenic waterfalls in Japan.
- Mt. Fuji‘s breathtaking view with it’s characteristic snow capped peak can be seen from the top of the gorge.
- Matsumoto Caste; a short visit to Japan’s most beautiful original castle on our way to Daio Wasabi Farm.
- Daio Wasabi Farm, at over 15 hectares is the world’s largest wasabi farm with stunning mountain scenery. Biggest attraction is the watermills, wasabi beer and ice cream! ;p
- Snow Corridor is a 500m wall of snow created by clearing snow from the road near Murodo. The wall is sometimes higher than 20m and is a popular tourist spot where visitors can walk along and enjoy the snowy white world. Seeing the wall of snow close up and personal is an unbelievably powerful experience. You’ve got to come here and experience to fully understand the unique sensations felt on this walk.
- Mikurigaike is a volcanic lake located at an altitude of 2,405m with its surroundings covered in snow until June. Its beautiful deep blue water reflects Mt. Tateyama making it one of the magnificent sights to see. Covering 30,000 square metres and with a circumference of 631m, this is the largest lake in Murodo.
- Kurobe Dam is Japan’s largest arch dam built and completed in 1963. With a height of 186m, it remains the tallest dam in Japan. An observation deck provides a grand view of the great nature of the Northern Alps.
