Daikanbo Observation Deck (Tateyama)
大観峰Toyama · Chubu
Daikanbo is a cliff-edge station at 2,316 m whose rooftop 'Cloud Terrace' hangs out over the void above Kurobe Lake. It looks across the emerald reservoir to the Ushiro-Tateyama range and is the upper terminus of the Tateyama Ropeway, which spans the valley with no support towers. In autumn the slopes below blaze with red and gold foliage.
