WNW

To the west-northwest (WNW), beyond the peaks of the Hida Mountains (Northern Alps) such as Mt. Fudodake (2,595.2 meters) and the ridges of 2,300 to 2,400 meters from Mt. Funakubodake, lie Kurobe Lake, Mt. Tobidake, Mt. Washidake, Goshikigahara Plateau, the western foothills of Mt. Tateyama at Murodo-daira, and the Kurobe River Alluvial Fan, leading to the urban areas of Toyama City and Takaoka City. Further beyond are Hakui City, Hodatsushimizu Town, and Chirihama Beach in Ishikawa Prefecture, facing the Sea of Japan.

Midorodaira is accessible via the Tateyama Toll Road, a western approach to Tateyama sightseeing, which passes through the Tateyama Tunnel from Tateyama Murodo-daira to Daikanbo Station. From Daikanbo Station, the Tateyama Ropeway and Kurobe Cable Car lead to Kurobe Dam.
