Snow Wall (Yuki-no-Otani):
Tateyama Murodo Plain, which stands at an altitude of 2,450m above sea level, receives some of heaviest snowfall in the world. The 500m-long snow wall is formed each spring on either side of the highway after snow is cleared for the opening of the Alpine Route. The awe-inspiring snow wall can reach a height of up to 20m, which is comparable to a seven-story building. One side of the road is designated for pedestrians, allowing you to walk between the walls of snow and enjoy the towering structures to your heart’s content. The walls are still 10m in height even in late June at the end of the season.

Tateyama Caldera Sabo Museum :
The Tateyama Caldera Sabo Museum is one of the most popular museum in Toyama. Since its founding in 1998, the museum has advanced its mission to disseminate information about “Nature and History of the Tateyama Mountains” and “Sediment and Erosion Control in Tateyama Caldera”, through a program of scientific research, education, and exhibition.
