A 500-metre (1,640ft) snow corridor along the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route has opened to the public for two months. From April 15 until June 25, 2022, visitors can explore the majestic mountain path surrounded by snow walls as high as 20 metres (66ft). The corridor connects Toyama and Nagano prefectures, reaching a maximum altitude of 2,450 metres (8,038ft). The winter landscape is normally available through spring, until warmer weather starts melting the walls.

[@Potatoalex538]

Descipline and cleanliness is Japan's pride

[@henrytang2203]

Amazing how well they ploughed the road - spotless. The wall of ice is also nearly perfect.

[@yuuri7839]

This was one of the highlights of my trip yrs ago, and I gotta say, the experience worth every penny.
Those that went this year are so lucky as the crowd won't be as much as how it used to be

[@weiszeliang4399]

[@tlst94]

This looks like Sinnoh's Route 216 from Pokemon Diamond & Pearl. How's that even possible? 😮

[@kimjongun9232]

[@rascrichard]

Isnt it really prone to landslides or avalanches since ice isnt that sturdy

[@wadepsilon01]

[@kimjongun9232]

China endorsing Japan 😂😂😂

[@ordinarydude2237]

Political and historical relations aside
They have been economic partners for a while now, with Japan exporting and importing with China.
But that's beside the point, SCMP has featured almost all of Asia, even Taiwan

[@Vincent_de_Paul]

SCMP ain't no CCP media you fool 🙄

[@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623]

ask any Chinese what their favorite country is. most will say Japan. not Korea.

[@Vincent_de_Paul]

@@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623 According to a 2017 BBC World Service Poll, mainland Chinese people hold the largest anti-Japanese sentiment in the world, with 75% of Chinese people viewing Japan's influence negatively, and 22% expressing a positive view.

[@user-cq2gr2fq8b]

[@relaxingspa2925]

Looks boring it's literally a 15 maybe 20 ft wall of snow all around you I rather sleep in ☺️

[@joslynnscepurek4020]

That whole place would be flooded if it got warm….

[@edgarjohnston7937]

Fumio Kishida should appreciate nature's gift for peace and tranquility and not foolishly destroy it with war.
