Wow what an incredible stunning scenary. I personally experienced live snow fall🌨️❄️ in 2017 on my 31st Birthday🎂I will never be able to forget that moment. I was born n raised in southern India where it never ever gets cold let alone seeing snowfall The fact is snow looks beautiful especially to those who have never seen or experienced it before but those who are so very used to it feel it as a burden considering that the risk of slipping and falling is high,vehicles skid on the road resulting in accidents,shops tend to be closed over all life becomes more demandingly difficult
Slippery ice and closed shops aren't as much of a worry. Snowy places are very well prepared in terms of snow tires, and slip resistant boots. Also closed shops i.e. "snow days" are like tiny surprise vacations that people love. The worst thing about snow is that it requires the temperature to be freezing... Second worst thing about snow is the winter jacket... They're puffy, ugly, difficult to clean and they absorb body odor like a sponge. Third worst thing about snow is dirty snow... High traffic roads start to look like rivers of fecal matter.
I have always had an enormous amount of admiration and respect for both the Japanese and Scandinavian cultures. Everything from architecture, engineering, food, art , etc..etc….❤🥰🤩
Saw something similar in newfoundland many years ago, the walls of snow were about 15 ft tall, simply amazing to be surrounded by snow like that, shout out to St. John's
Hot water sprinklers that pop up from under the road with hot water to melt snow!. Okay...I think we should take a leaf out the Japanese book and order some for the UK!. I think it would be a wise investment since the road I'm next to is always suffering with snow and ice in winter.
@@bennyklabarpan7002 Yeah right! The only irony remaining, the Brits being low on money despite looting the world (or rather Asia and Africa) for at least three centuries.
Why not ! Try hard to make yourself capable enough that you could visit anywhere in this world. Sounds may impossible but that's not fantasy also. Sooner or later you probably will be able to knock any close door and the door will be open for you. Best wishes 👍
If you want the same effect in America, go to northern Maine. Loring AFB, is closed now but the highway has three stories or more of a snow corridor! It's truly beautiful!
I love Japan so much. It is the #1 place I want to visit if I can ever save the money. I love the people, the culture, the land, the history. I will make my dream trip one day and I am so excited. Until then I will visit Japan through TH-cam. Thank you for your video.
Sorry to vent but I know nobody will see this doom post but man the world is so beautiful and I’m so sad that I will die because there’s just no way I can afford to travel. Living is depressing I’m barely able to afford daily needs and bills, working conditions are gruesome and I’m getting tired. These videos are few of my ways of escape, I can imagine myself just laying there and just sinking in the thick snow forever. But alas I’m also still grateful because I know there’s more people out there who can’t even afford getting an internet connection. But yeah if you’re seeing this and feeling the same, just know you’re not alone. A lot of us are gonna disappear without discovering even a fraction of what the world has to offer.
Even the very wealthy have a finite amount of time. Go somewhere local. I only ever saw the aurora borealis out of a plane window at night. Never been up north in the winter.
I have a suggestion, that if applied properly will alter your life, dramatically. If you can imagine yourself in one of your favorite places to travel to, for example the ice wall in Japan, and FEEL yourself there using as many senses as you can to make it FEEL real, and keep imagining until you feel joy and gratitude that you are truly in that place, magic will happen, if you persist and stay true to what you imagined. It is best to do this right before bed, so you can drift off to sleep feeling happy. Imagination is the real reality...all things crystallize into physicality from imagination. Try it! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. 😎😁😉👍❤
Reminds me of the Sierra mountains road back in the 1960s it would switch back and forth from snow maze to just barely being able to see over the snow as we drove.
Yeah, it crossed my mind too. But I would probably trust the expertise and past experience of Japanese engineers. If they let people onto this road and it hadn’t happen in years, they probably know know what they’re doing. I suppose the snow is packed so heavily it’s as solid as a concrete wall.
@@miroslavmilan I think you would be right about the weight of the snow 1 metre of snow would be fairly heavy,I guess depending on the type of snow, 20 metres bottom layers quite compressed.?. Not an expert I live in Australia not much snow here.
I saw it in mid July and while it’s melted a lot, it was still about 25 ft high. The Japanese go to great lengths for carefully groom those walls. Almost as fun is sledding by the walls in your t-shirt as it’s an otherwise warm summer day.
You can see something similar in Mt Rainier Washington and Lassen Park California where the average April 1st snow depth at the end of the road approaches 200" 4 to 5 meters. In exceptional winters Donner Summit and Mt Rose Hiway California and Logan Pass Montana can look like that.
You can just use saline... the entire developed world who deals with snow has this. We use it one 70 degree hills and such because hot water won't cut it on our terrain and because of the hills. Pipes with hot water would not work due to the ground shifting all the time.
@@TallicaMan1986 no? canada, scandinavia, russia all move the snow rather than waste energy trying to melt it. Using water is idiotic unless you have near 0 temperatures or geothermal vents
Wow It looks so amazing. But dangerous if it collapsed? Wonder how long it took to get that high? Incredible 😮 Japan is a very beautiful country. Love the Cherry Blossoms 🌸 The only Asian country where I'd love to live my entire life, if given the opportunity. The only country in Asia that I prefer Why? Very clean. 👍🇵🇬😊
I don't know what the elevation is, but the view looks absolutely stunning! I could just stay up there for hours and look at the view! If I was a younger man that would definitely be a vacation destination! (Can you ski all the way down?)
You mentioned they need GPS to clear the corridor, but then said the snow corridor opened in 1971. GPS didn't exist back then, unless you mean the road was closed when the snow accumulates. Anyway, I would be concerned about that mountain of snow collapsing onto the roadway. Even if the engineers say it is safe, earthquakes happen in Japan. If you're walking down there during a quake, that may be your last walk.
Serious question, is there a risk for the walls to collapse for some reason? Of course, they would not allow the road to be used otherwise, but i wonder what kind of measures are taken to keep it stable.
what happens when summer arrives and melts the snow pack? How do the walls maintain structural integrity, or do they shut the road down until the snow melts?
I am assuming that they constantly check the stability of the snow to ensure safe passage. I also assume that for the past 50 years there hasn't been a major problem else we would have heard about it. It is both natural and man made (though I wrote an essay once saying there was no difference as man is part of nature). And to the person who said it wasn't 60', that is only an average 10/11 people standing on top of each other, and it looks like that is possible, but also it would not be a constant depth and could vary
this road reminds me of Mario Kart DS: N64 Frappe Snowland that one section of the race track
Was about to comment this. Probably what inspired the course, especially since it's in Japan.
Haha so true!
Gotta appreciate how you referenced an N64 track _through_ the DS version 🤦
@@CraigChrist8239 ok and ? Cry about it
Yes that’s what I thought as well lol
“Going to school I had to shovel snow 5 meters high.”
This might actually be true in Tateyama.😂
Bloody luxury.
You forgot barefoot, uphill, both ways.
@@roachtoasties and a river and a crocodile
Japan is amazing in so many ways.
When I was a kid, this is what I wished for every time it snowed.
u should visit me in Norway.
2meter high road snow walls during xmas:-D
Whne you got to go to work in the morning, this is no fairy tale
Cool stuff. The road is closed during the winter. They don’t remove the snow until May or so. The snow is gone by the end of June.
Thanx I was wondering If It Did melt Yearly
That is crazy. All that work to remove it and the feature is gone in a few weeks.
Amazing Japan.
2:10 Imagine bathing in the natural hot springs, surrounded by this white scenery and breathing in the crisp cool air.
With your own personal "Mother of Dragons" . . .
That would be lit AF!

Yes it is
Don’t remind us.

And wearing masks in 2024! 😂😅
@@priuss6109 they were wearing mask even before covid made it popular
Homogenous societies...
@@Momruoy-v5j ah yes, scandinavia is so famously homogenous 😂
This is so drastically beautiful! It would be so surreal to drive through that path!
This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
"Coolest" lol ❄😸

extremely expensive to use heat to remove snow/ice
@@bennyklabarpan7002 Yeah right! The only irony remaining, the Brits being low on money despite looting the world (or rather Asia and Africa) for at least three centuries.

Hey! They made N64 Frappe Snowland into a real thing!
Japan itself is a wonder place sitting on a tectonically/seismically dangerous zone known a ring of fire. People who live there deserve some respect.
I love it ❤ I want to borrow inside of it and live there 😊

@@funshine817 did you mean the WILD technique?
there are also WBTB, FILD, MILD techniques, and/or you need working RCs
@@dot1298 Never heard of that. The technique I speak of came from Neville Goddard. 😊
Beautiful! Regrettably, I now live in the deep dirty South of the US for work. Don't see a single flake of snow most years. I miss it a lot.
It is so much interesting...
Wow 😮😮
Beautiful
We get 3 cm in the UK, country closes down for a week.
japanese engineering 🎉❤
This is amazing, out of necessity comes with it beauty and awe👏👏👏
Amazing. Wish my area would get that much snow.
This is truly a wonder!
Top of Estes Park in Colorado had a road similar to this. Wall of snow about 10 feet high, end of May dressed in shorts and T-shirt - wild!
I've seen snow walls like this in Yellowstone right after they opened the roads in the spring.
This world is amazing the wonders of it
This is so neat....would love to see!
No matter where you live it's good to get out and about. Very interesting. Was wondering about
Reminds me of the Sierra mountains road back in the 1960s it would switch back and forth from snow maze to just barely being able to see over the snow as we drove.
Good geographical information.
I only just saw snow this year and TH-cam is showing me this
Very cool
Amazing
Pure white snow.
Now I can’t sleep anymore.
First thought was the snow course in Mario Kart 64
Wow
Astonishing sight👌🤔
Thanks for the video. I wondered where this place is. Now I know. I’d like to go there. Looks fun.
That’s so cool!
I’ve seen enough snow banks collapse to know I’d never in a million years travel that road

Agree
Wow lot of snow 🌨️❄️ in japanese
I saw it in mid July and while it’s melted a lot, it was still about 25 ft high. The Japanese go to great lengths for carefully groom those walls.
Almost as fun is sledding by the walls in your t-shirt as it’s an otherwise warm summer day.
That's awesome!
A similar road is in Norway, although the corridor's walls are only a few meters high, but the effect is similar.
Big fan sir. Please sir make Long video. Your lovely subscriber from Talchowk Lekhnath kaski Nepal. 👍❤️🌺🌹🌺

Imagine the bobsled run you could make
Only the Japanese can somehow prevent ice on roads... By spraying WATERon them! AMAZING! 🤯💛
Samurai water
Isnt it just gonna freeze a minute after they stop running it?
You can just use saline... the entire developed world who deals with snow has this. We use it one 70 degree hills and such because hot water won't cut it on our terrain and because of the hills. Pipes with hot water would not work due to the ground shifting all the time.

It looks so amazing.
But dangerous if it collapsed?
Wonder how long it took to get that high?
Incredible 😮

I live not too far from the Lake Erie snowbelt, which receives an extraordinary amour of snow each year but it is nothing in comparison to this.
Wow i never knew pretty cool
That looks awesome. I wonder if there is no risk of collapse?
Also, perfect for a ski resort. They're missing out...
This road reminds me of that one part in Mario Kart 64's Frappe Snowland
Driving a bus through that should be in the Olympics.
Japan is an enigma ❤
what happens when summer arrives and melts the snow pack? How do the walls maintain structural integrity, or do they shut the road down until the snow melts?

This footage is not of Tateyama.
It's from Aomori (青森) prefecture.
They should film Game of Thrones here…

What happned to the new Zealander voice over from years ago for this channel?
Must be kind of scary when the weather starts warming up and these massive snow walls collapse.
That looks scary... We have mudslides in my country. This could be a potential snowslide
I want one!
The Beartooth pass in Yellowstone is similar, maybe not as deep.
Wow…Mid April to mid June?
Snowland from Mario Kart 64 !!!
How the heck has not been portrayed in any anime ive seen? Its soo cool
This is why i love winter ❄️
Damn, this place seems ever snowier than Kutchan, Hokkaido, one of the snowiest place on earth
Kamchatka and Sakhalin are the snowest, Japan got nothing on them
everybody in 2001: "wtf is fy_iceworld? how would that happen?"
meanwhile in Japan: 0:20

What does it look like when it melts?!?
