The "Serious Alpine Route Award" was selected by photographer Yasto Inagaki, an ambassador of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, and includes a work taken at Kurobe-daira, a pond in summer with a refreshing cool feeling, a work that captures the clear autumn sky and autumn leaves, and a work that bids farewell to the trolley bus that ended its service last year. The other works were also selected to bid farewell to the trolley buses, which ceased operation last year. All the winning works are now available on the Tatekuro Photo Contest website.

The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route begins in spring with the silvery world, continues into summer, when it is about 15°C cooler than the plain, and ends in autumn, when the autumn leaves begin to turn early and can be enjoyed for a long period of time! Mikuriga Ike! Information on the summer and autumn season highlights and events from July onward will also be posted on this website.
