Two days from Tokyo Station: up the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route past Kurobe Dam and the Daikanbo viewpoint, a night under canvas at 2,300 m on the Murodo plateau, and a morning trek to Mikurigaike and up Mt. Tateyama — one of Japan's three sacred mountains, with Fuji and Hakusan. Autumn on this plateau is the "sandan koyo": snow on the peaks, red and gold on the slopes, evergreen below, all at once. Departures September and October only.

Dinner and the evening at camp · 180 min
