Toyama City is the gateway to this route. Along the alpine route, huge walls of snow line bothsides of the road in April when the whole section of the route becomes accessible. These walls are
created through snowplowing and can reach up to almost 20 meters in height in high snow
seasons, which is equivalent to the height of a 7-story building. This snow-wall section is usually
only traversable by vehicles, but is open to pedestrians from April to mid June for a unique andawe-inspiring event called Mt. Tateyama Snow Wall Walk.
