The 65 feet high Snow Walls Corridor in Tateyama Japan is part of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route in Toyama, Japan, the so called roof of Japan.
The famous snow corridor can have snow walls of up to 65ft in height, which line the roads of the famous Alpine Route and runs for a 500 meter stretch of road.
From mid April to the end of June, this roadway is a major tourist attraction in Toyama prefecture, but from December to April it is completely inaccessible.
Thanks for watching.

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

@Slackmana 2 дня назад

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.

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.

@funshine817 19 дней назад

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. 😎😁😉👍❤

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.

@tkralva.6668 23 дня назад

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

In Norway, people wouldn't be walking on the road, but skiing on the snow around it. Vikafjell comes to mind, which has similar snow walls. That said, take care next to a snow wall like this. It's not a natural way for snow to stay stable, and it will collapse - partially or fully - eventually.
