Tateyama lies in the Jōganji River valley, where the Toyama Plain rises toward the snow-covered peaks of the Northern Japanese Alps. The town is the western starting point of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, a mountain corridor that continues by cable car, bus and tunnel transport toward the Kurobe area. Within its municipal boundaries, Shōmyō Falls drops 350 metres, making it Japan’s tallest waterfall. Tateyama’s mountain setting has also been shaped by centuries of pilgrimage to sacred Mount Tateyama.
