Charters – Snow Monkey Resorts

Located between Nagano and Toyama prefectures, the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a world-renowned mountain sightseeing route with spectacular scenery. The route itself is traversed by various forms of public transportation, including cable cars, electric buses, and a ropeway, and is not accessible by private vehicles. However, a private charter is an excellent way to get to and from the Alpine Route’s entry points.

The best vehicle for you depends on your group size and luggage. We can arrange any of the following vehicles for transport to and from the Alpine:
