can we go to tetayama kurobe alphine route From Ueno station?

Of course! If you want to do it in a daytrip, you would have to start as early as possible. I recommend to take the Nagano Shinkansen from Ueno to Nagano Station, and from there the bus to Ogizawa at the eastern end of the Alpine Route.

Train timetable:

Bus timetable:

Alpen Route timetable:

You could then travel the Alpine Route to Tateyama and take trains back to Ueno or return to Ogizawa and travel back to Ueno from there. Make sure to study the timetables well.

you can definitely due the coarse in one day, as long as you don't spend too much time at one station( and it's not crowded) my suggestion would be to start at tateyama station and end at shinano-omachi which is close to matsumoto city which is closer to Ueno.

The problem with starting from Tateyama is that the first train connection there does not arrive until around 11:30 which is rather late. Especially towards autumn when early sunset hours limit time availability in the afternoon.

If you start from Ogizawa, you can start traveling the route over an hour earlier.

The journey back to Ueno is no problem from either Tateyama or Omachi. The last connection from Tateyama is around 18:30 and the last connection from Omachi around 19:00. Especially if you travel later during the season, when sunset is early, an early start is more important than a long afternoon.
