A giant snow corridor near the otherworldly Mount Tateyama, one of Japan’s three sacred mountains, is reopening to travelers
on April 15. Called Yuki no Otani , this 500-meter-long pathway cuts through towering snow walls that rise up to 20 meters at the highest point of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route.
“Even in late June, the walls are still over 10 meters high. As there are fewer visitors in June, you can enjoy a more relaxed sightseeing experience. Also, the weather in June is warm and more predictable,” says the official website. Other attractions The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route starting points are Tateyama Station in the west or Ogizawa Station in the east, while the Great Valley of Snow can be accessed from Murodo Station, which at 2,450 meters high is the highest station on the route.
