Tateyama Murodo-hira, at an elevation of 2,450 meters, is one of the world’s heaviest snowfall areas, with an average snow depth of about 7 meters.
In particular, “Yuki-no-Otani” (Snow Valley), a 5-minute walk from Murodou Station, has a heavy snowfall due to a blowdown, and its depth exceeds 20 meters at the most.
Snow plowing along the road creates a 500-meter wall of snow, and when the Alpine Route opens, the snow wall is close to 20 meters high.
The world of the looming white wall is popular among tourists from overseas.
The “Tateyama Snow Valley Walk” is held until the end of May.
