The discharge from this dam, boasting Japan’s highest height of 186 meters, is truly awe-inspiring, with a flow rate of 10 to 15 tons per second. [Discharge Period: June 26 to October 15 (Discharge may be suspended due to weather conditions, etc.)]

While gazing at the emerald-shining Lake Kurobe, you can stroll along the dam’s embankment on foot. If you have some extra time, enjoying a different perspective from the observation deck is also a good idea.

The Murodo Terminal is located at Japan’s highest point. It boasts the largest-scale restaurant and observation terrace on the Alpine Route, providing excellent facilities.

At Murodo, you’ll also find a day-trip hot spring facility, and taking a leisurely stroll through the vast grassy plains is also recommendable. Be sure to experience the breathtaking beauty of the autumn foliage during the fall season.
