The page of "Lake Kurobe" on Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route as "Your Travel Destination in
Japan" now has been uploaded:
Lake Kurobe is an artificial lake by the Kurobe Dam.
The Kurobe Dam was built in 1963 at the deep and steep Kurobe Gorge between two mountain ranges,
whose altitude is approximately 3,000 meters in height.
You can enjoy pleasure boat "Garve-Go" riding on Lake Kurobe.
From the boat, you can see Kurobe-Dam and will realize how Kurobe-Dam is huge.
As Lake Kurobe is sandwiched between two mountain ranges, it has an elongated shape in the north
and south.
From "Garve-Go", you will see Mt. Hakuba to the north, and North Japan Alps to the south.
Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route connects between Tateyama Station to Ohgisawa Bus Stop by a
couple of transportations.
However, to cross Kurobe Gorge from Kurobe-Ko Station on the west side of Lake Kurobe to the
Kurobedam Bus Stop on the east side of the lake, walking connection is required on the Kurobe Dam.
The height of the Kurobe Dam is 186 meters. You can see the bottom of Kurobe Gorge from the top
of the dam. The view is too high to dazzle. You can also enjoy seeing water-discharge from the dam
as sightseeing purpose. The view is also majestic.
At the east side of Kurobe Dam, you will see the statues shown in the below picture.
The construction of Kurobe Dam took seven years and was very difficult.
The lives of 171 people were lost during the construction.
The statues were built to memorial of these people and to pray for them.

そして、立山黒部アルペンルートで徒歩連絡になっている
