Alpen route – tight connection at Tateyama

Hey all,

Just made a last minute ticket purchase for the 9:20 cable car leaving from Tateyama towards the Alpen Route. The problem is getting from Kanazawa to Tateyama Station to take the 9:20.

Dentetsu Toyama to Tateyama – 2 options on Google maps.

7:01——-8:15

8:07——9:19

I’m coming from Kanazawa, so I’m trying not to leave at 6am to catch the 9:20 cable car out of Tateyama.

But, if I take the 8:07 from Toyama, that allows only one minute before the departure.

What if I miss the 9:20 cable car? Am I out of luck for the whole trip?

Thanks..and good luck to all travelers during Golden Week…

Edit-traveling during GW

  1. Takes more than a minute to make the transfer, so if you want to get that 8:07 service you should rebook a later cable car.

  2. You need to take the earlier one.

    If you miss it, you can see if there is a later one available. But if they are booked out, you’re out of luck

  3. Hey. I could not get the web tickets for my May itinerary. I am looking for the ones starting from Toyama. Is it possible for me to just show up on the day at Toyama and get it ?

    Surely they don’t sell all tickets online ?
