Yuki-no-Otani (Snow Wall)
Yuki-no-Otani (Snow Wall)
The "Snow Wall (Yuki-no-Otani)" is located nearby Murodo in Tateyama-machi of Toyama prefecture. The main event of the "Yuki-no-Otani Festival" is held from April to June every year, where you can experience walking through snow walls reaching 20m high. You can also take beautiful pictures of the pure white snow wall with enhanced contrast between the bright clear blue sky. The pathway looks as if fresh cream was scooped by a playful God, and you will be surprised by the fact that streets were built on this overwhelming heavy snow. Although half of the main area is for cars, a popular pedestrian walkway called the "Snow Corridor" is available on the back of Hotel Tateyama. There are various other attractive spots to enjoy within the festival venue, such as the "Panorama Road" where you can walk and view the silvery white scenery created by blankets of snow. It's also nice because you can appreciate the snow until the middle of June in the flatlands.
