All Reviews of Tateyama Cable Car

The Tateyama Cable Car is one of the must-ride transportation options for exploring the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route! It climbs from Tateyama Station up to Bijodaira, gaining more than 500 meters in just about 7 minutes. Along the way, it passes through forests and mountainsides, with views out the window that are hard to look away from.

After arriving at Bijodaira, you can transfer to the highland bus and continue on to Murodo, beginning an incredible Tateyama Kurobe journey. It’s not just a cable car ride—it’s the starting point for some of Japan’s most spectacular scenery!

The Tateyama Cable Car is a must-ride part of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. In just a few minutes, it climbs a steep mountainside, with stunning views of the alpine forest along the way.

I recommend buying your ticket first after arriving, then taking your time with photos so you don’t miss your ride. Even on a weekday, there were still plenty of visitors, which shows how popular it is. Surrounded by mountains and picture-perfect scenery, every stop makes you want to pause and take it all in. It was definitely one of the most unforgettable experiences of the Tateyama Kurobe trip.

The cabin felt much bigger than it looks in photos and could hold a lot of passengers at once. The ride was also very smooth, without the swaying you often get on smaller cable cars.
