The Experience
★☆ Tateyama Kurobe “Snow Wall Festival” ☆★
When it comes to the spring Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, the globally renowned "Snow Wall" is a highlight!
The "Snow Wall" is a 500-meter section of road near the Murodo Terminal, created by clearing the accumulated snow, forming massive snow walls.
Highlight ①: “Snow Wall Walk”
One of the snowiest areas in the world, Tateyama Murodo-daira reveals towering snow walls reaching up to 20 meters high, known as the "Snow Wall."
The “Snow Wall Walk” event allows you to stroll between these massive walls, experiencing the dramatic contrast of the clear blue sky and the snow-covered landscape—a signature springtime spectacle of the Tateyama Kurobe area.
Highlight ②: “Panorama Road”
A snow-covered walking path offering panoramic views of the Tateyama Mountain Range, available only from mid-April to early May.
Enjoy the breathtaking scenery from “Panorama Road,” which can only be seen for a brief period before the snow melts.
Highlight ③: “Snow Corridor”
A corridor formed by clearing snow to connect the rooftop of Murodo Terminal and the Tateyama Nature Conservation Center.
Every year, the snow walls reach heights of over 8 meters in April, rivaling the grandeur of the Snow Wall itself.
Gen Masu-no-Sushi Museum Masuzushi, a specialty of Toyama Prefecture, is a local dish consisting of trout fillets wrapped in vinegared rice. It has a long history and is said to have originated in the late Edo period . At that time, trout sushi was valued as a highly preserved food and was popular as an accompaniment for travel and as a gift. Even today, there are many restaurants specializing in trout sushi in Toyama Prefecture, each of which continues to preserve the traditional taste with its own unique manufacturing method. Here you can see the manufacturing process
