In addition to cherry blossom viewing, you can also visit this place in April in Japan.

In central Japan, there is a hidden pure land called the "Japanese Alps" — the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. This is not just a mountainous valley in the geographical sense 🗻, but a dream world sculpted by nature, attracting travelers from all over the world to explore its secrets ㊙️. - The soul of Tateyama Kurobe lies in its breathtaking snow walls. Every winter, due to the high altitude and heavy snowfall ❄️, thick snow accumulates here. Every year in November, the mountains close, and they remain closed until they reopen in April of the following year. As the temperature gradually rises in spring, the snow begins to melt, leaving behind huge snow walls, tens of meters or even twenty meters high, on both sides of the road. Walking between them is like being in a white time tunnel, with a strip of blue sky overhead and towering walls of ice and snow on both sides. Every step is accompanied by awe and admiration for the power of nature. - 🏔️ Open Period: April 15, 2025 - November 30, 2025 - 🌨 [Snow Wall Wonders] Located near Murodo Station at an altitude of 2390m, the Yukino-Otani Snow Wall Walk is held annually from April 15 to June 22. 🛰️ With the help of GPS positioning, snowplows clear a path about 500 meters long with 20m high snow walls on both sides, forming a stunning snow valley ☃️. 🚌 One side of the road is for buses, and the other side is a pedestrian walkway where you can walk 🚶‍♂️ and experience the awe-inspiring charm of being surrounded by towering snow walls.
