"Japan's Snow Corridor Reopens for Visitors"
The Yuki no Otani snow corridor, a 500-meter-long pathway through towering snow walls that rise up to 20 meters at the highest point of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, is reopening to travelers on April 15. The 90-kilometer sightseeing route, dubbed the “Roof of Japan,” offers incredible views of Mount Tateyama and Mount Akazawa-dake peaks, while providing access to everything from Japan’s highest altitude hot spring to the country’s highest waterfall. The snow walk will remain open until June 25, and visitors can also participate in creating a new route by shoveling the icy snow.
