◆◇ Spectacular "The Yuki-no-Otani Snow Walk" ◆◇
At an altitude of 2,450 meters, Tateyama Murodo is one of Japan’s top heavy snowfall regions. Among them, "Otani", located near Murodo, accumulates snow over 20 meters deep due to wind patterns. After the roads are cleared, the towering snow walls on both sides, known as "The Yuki-no-Otani" (Snow Corridor), create a breathtaking winter landscape.
A special pedestrian-only walking path (Otani Route) is available approximately 500 meters from Murodo Terminal, allowing visitors to walk, admire, and even touch the snow along the route.
