Tateyama Kurobe Snow Festival
The "Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route," which runs through the Northern Alps with peaks rising over 3,000 meters, is known for its spring event, the internationally renowned "Snow Wall Festival." Near the Murodo Terminal, in this heavy snowfall area, a 500-meter "Snow Wall" is created through snow removal using GPS technology. These snow walls can exceed 20 meters in height, providing a breathtaking sight. During the "Snow Wall Walk," the path between the snow walls is opened up for pedestrians, allowing visitors to enjoy the beautiful contrast between the snow and the blue sky. In April, the "Snow Corridor" also makes its appearance, showcasing stunning snowy landscapes. Remember to prepare for the cold and wear non-slip shoes when you visit. Experience the exhilarating walk between the massive snow walls, enjoy panoramic views at the "Tateyama Yukiterasu," and immerse yourself in this limited, mystical world.
