Tateyama Kurobe Great Snow Wall

While everyone is concerned about the status of cherry blossoms in Japan, there is actually a magnificent scenery in Japan that is worth visiting, which is the giant snow wall located in Tateyama Kurobe in Hokuriku! "Tateyama Kurobe" is the abbreviation of "Tateyama" and "Lake Kurobe". It is known as the "Japanese Alps". The mountains, about 3 kilometers high, connect the highlands between Toyama Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture. There are various natural landscapes along the way, attracting tourists from all over the world to come for mountain climbing pilgrimage every year. The temperature in winter is not suitable for sightseeing in Tateyama Kurobe, so the mountain is closed from December to April every year. After being covered with ice and snow in winter, the mountain will open in spring. The artificial snow wall "Snow Valley" stands on both sides of the road like Moses parting the sea, which is very magnificent. However, this stunning scenery will gradually disappear as the temperature rises, so it is also a seasonal view limited to Tateyama Kurobe! From Toyama Prefecture: Take the Toyama Railway from Toyama Station to Tateyama Station, then transfer to the Tateyama Cable Car to Bijodaira, and then take the Plateau Bus to reach the destination. The Tateyama Kurobe Climbing Route runs through the Northern Alps, reaching a plateau at 2,500 meters high. It is a 90-kilometer route connecting Toyama Prefecture and Nagano Prefecture.
