Is this route possible in December (I read it is very scenic) or do trains not go though there at that time of the year?
We want to go and see the snow monkeys after Takayama and stay a night but if it is too hard to get there we may have to miss it.
THanks for any help

Hi there,

Trains go to each place year round but do keep in mind that you could experience high snowfall and cold temperatures. If that's no stopper for you, then you're all good :)

Thanks for that but I am still confused. Do we not take the Alpine train route?
What trains do we catch?

You take the Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Toyama, then ltd. express train to Takayama.
