"Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route" is a mountain sightseeing route of 37 kilometers in length that connects between Tateyama Town in Toyama Prefecture and Omachi City in Nagano Prefecture by ropeway, etc. It opened on all lines on 15th.

However, on 15th, raining and a strong wind blown, buses connecting 'Beauty of Girl' at an altitude of 977 meters and 'Murodo' at an altitude of 2450 meters have been canceled. For this reason, the popular event which enjoyed walking the scheduled souvenir ceremonial ceremony and the snowy walls that appeared on both sides of the road, 'The Snow Otani' was canceled.

Tourists who headed to Beauty of God in a cable car had a disappointing look with the appearance of the sky, taking pictures in front of the snow while raining.

A woman who came from Panama in Central America said, "I visited to enjoy the snow that I can not see in Panama, but I am very sorry that the weather was bad."

According to the management company of Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, this year is that the aim is to use more than 1 million people than last year's 930,000 people.
