You can walk through the snow wall area, where the snow wall is nearly 20 meters high. The magnificent scenery will take your breath away! 🔴Set Off Early: Get up early and pay attention to peak times, especially during the popular snow wall sightseeing season. 🔴Unpredictable Weather: The weather in the mountains is unpredictable. We recommend wearing quick-drying clothes and bringing a warm coat. If you sweat, quick-drying clothes can quickly absorb sweat to prevent you from catching a cold. You can also add or remove clothes as needed. 🔴Cable Car & Cruise: Take the Tateyama Plateau Cable Car to reach the snow wall area. If time permits, don't forget to take a cruise on the Kurobe Dam to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kurobe Lake. 🔴Photography Tips: The best time to photograph the snow wall is from noon to afternoon, when the sunlight is at a good angle and the photos are more colorful. A film camera will give your photos a unique flavor, or you can bring a waterproof camera to capture the snow while keeping your equipment safe. 🧡Preparation: Comfortable Hiking Shoes (for walking on snow, non-slip soles are a must!) Warm Clothes (even in summer, the temperature in the mountains is still low) Camera (the snow wall and surrounding scenery are worth capturing) Water and Snacks (there are not many restaurants in the mountains, so we recommend bringing some food) Sunscreen (sunlight reflected off the snow can easily burn your skin, so remember to reapply sunscreen) Gloves and Hat (it's reassuring to have these in case it gets cold)
