Meet at Hotel Tateyama
Kenichi Otsuka, a Toyama-based guide with 13 years of experience. Having studied snow and ice science at university, he became fascinated with Tateyama. His tours are known for showing “the best of Tateyama on that day,” sharing unique seasonal highlights and insights about the area.
The tour starts from Hotel Tateyama at an altitude of 2,450 m. The guide will explain Tateyama’s snow, wildlife, and natural environment while walking through the area.
Walk beside the impressive snow walls near Murodo Terminal.
A beautiful pond about 10 minutes from the hotel, covered in snow and ice in winter.
Spring is the best season to spot these rare alpine birds.
Observe snow crystals, measure snow depth, and learn why snow is white and how the snow walls form.
Receive an original bottle inspired by the Snow Wall, where you can place Tateyama snow as a souvenir.
