Tateyama Alpine Route November

Hi all,

Around November 21st, I planned to travel from Kanazawa to Toyama (Tateyama Alpine route) since I didn't have the opportunity to go earlier. From my research, I know it's not the best time and the route could be closed from the Toyama direction.

My question is where can I find information when it is closed? In addition, would I need to reserve tickets in advance from Murodo to Ogizawa?
(Ideally, the night before since I could take the early 7 am Shinkansen to Nagano and do the Tateyama Alpine route there)

Thanks in advance!

good morning

1. closure information will be posted on official website
https://www.alpen-route.com/

2. due to possibility of heavy snowfall on Toyama Side in Nov,
tickets are available at Tateyama Station Ticket Counter (depending on weather) IF you are coming from Toyama
online reservation is NOT available unless it is round trip departing from Ogizawa

3. the recommendation, as you probably aware, is to entering from Nagano instead
mainly because Tateyama Highland Bus between Bijodaira and Murodo may be suspended due to weather condition

have a wonderful trip~
