| Early morning we took off from Matsumoto...our next destination is the Kurobe Alpine Route from Matsumoto to Tateyama..........first is the train ride to Shinano Omachi |
 |
| The view of the Alps from the train |
 |
| Long and winding road |
 |
| We reached Shinano Omachi and bought a ticket for an express bus to Ogizawa...for those who wants to travel lightly, they can sent their bags to a forwarding service located next to the station........you can later on pick your bags at the end of the journey @ tateyama station |
 |
| The bus journey was simply AWESOME |
 |
| Ahhhh its autumn |
 |
| You can see the Alps from here.........it was really really nice and we can't wait to get there |
 |
| Getting nearer to our destination - Ogisawa |
 |
| I really really like the bus ride |
 |
| A nice tunnel captured from the front window of the bus |
 |
| Another tunnel....you can see the yellow and red leaves of autumn |
 |
| Inside view |
 |
| The road getting higher and higher........and autumn looks more prominent here |
 |
| Yeah....Ogisawa.....finally here |
 |
| One for the memory |
 |
| My sis in front of Ogisawa |
 |
| Peace to the World.....yeah.............or is it kani kani kani (crab crab crab) hahahaha |
 |
| After buying the ticket for the whole trip, we wait to board the trolley bus...a hybrid electric bus |
 |
| The queue...luckily we decided to start early so there's not so many people around yet |
 |
| The trolley bus schedule and information about the weather at each point |
 |
| The ticket |
 |
| Finally we boarded the bus and here we go....into the tunnel !!! |
 |
| From Ogisawa we reached Kurobe Dam |
 |
| The trolley bus...............it always go in 5 or 6 busses |
 |
| Inside the Kurobe Dam stop.....a guide is available to show you the way |
 |
| A flight of stairs that we need to go through before we reached the most beautiful place..........it was a very very very long flight of stairs. For those with weak knees, I would suggest that you start the journey from Toyama instead so that you can either avoid these stairs altogether or it would be easier going down than going up (in my opinion that is) |
 |
| The staircase from the top |
 |
| Yatta....I reached the last one....hehehehe..........now off to the most spectacular view!!!!! Wait for it, Wait for it ( ^ 0^ ) |
