The 20-meter-tall snow walls that are only open for two months each year are truly astonishing

Such a breathtaking spectacle is only available for two months each year. This is the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in the Hokuriku region of central Japan, which I consider even more worth visiting than Mount Fuji. It has been on my wish list for countless years, and this year I finally got to check it off. Despite being open for only a few short months each year, its popularity never wanes. The Snow Wall, which I find most enchanting, is only open for two months each year. 📆Opening season: April 15th to June 15th Now, follow me to experience Japan's Alps, and witness the stunning beauty where the azure sky meets the pure white snow walls! 1️⃣The Snow Wall Known for its towering white walls, it is also called the Great Snow Valley. The highest record is a 20-meter-tall snow wall that can only be seen in April and May. It is also a rare sight in other places. When I visited this year, the highest was 14 meters. You can sit on a bus and pass through the snow walls of the Great Snow Valley, or you can stroll between the snow walls (about 200-300 meters long), and experience the unique joy amidst the pure white snow. 2️⃣Tateyama Ropeway The most beautiful sight along the entire Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is taking the Tateyama Ropeway from Daikan Peak to admire the view of Kurobe Lake and the surrounding mountains. 🚠Transportation: Because getting to the snow walls is extremely troublesome, there are not many individual travelers. I will explain in detail in the next article. ✈️International: You can fly to Nagoya or Komatsu from within Japan, and then take a car to Toyama or Tateyama. 🚊Within Japan: From Toyama Station, transfer to six types of transportation to tour Tateyama Kurobe. If you're only visiting the Snow Wall, get off at Murodo Station in the middle. If you want to tour the entire route, get off at Ogizawa Station. ⛷️Dress: The mountain climate is variable, so be sure to check the weather forecast before you go. Shoes with good grip and clothes that are warm and easy to remove are recommended. Choose a sunny day to visit, as the blue sky makes for beautiful photos. If it's cloudy, it will be very cold on the mountain.
