From mid-April to mid-June, the deepest part of the Snow Corridor opens to pedestrians. I walked between the towering snow walls, breathing the crisp mountain air and enjoying this natural wonder at my own pace. It's an incredible experience to be surrounded by such immense walls of snow.

This majestic site is a unique route cut right through the snow of the Northern Japan Alps, often called the 'roof of Japan.' The Tateyama area receives some of the heaviest snowfall in the world, averaging about 7 meters but capable of reaching up to 20 meters. The corridor features snow walls up to 65 feet (20 meters) high, stretching for a 500-meter section of road. It's a natural wonder and a unique tourist attraction, especially on clear days when the blue sky strikingly contrasts with the pure white snow walls. The deepest part of the corridor is open to pedestrians from mid-April to mid-June, allowing visitors to walk between the towering walls.

Snow Walls — The towering snow walls can reach up to 65 feet (20 meters) in height, created by specially built snow plow machines that clear the road. They are a visual spectacle, especially on clear days when the blue sky contrasts strikingly with the pure white snow. Visitors can walk between these walls from mid-April to mid-June.
Snow Plow Machines — A dedicated team uses specially built snow plow machines to carve out the corridor each year. These machines are designed to handle large snow deposits and rely on GPS to locate the road beneath the heavy snow.
