‘Roof Of Japan’, The Snowiest Road In The World (Photos) by Explorers(op): 8:34pm On Feb 27, 2019*

Welcome to the majestic Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, just a few hours from Tokyo.

It’s a part of the ‘Roof of Japan’, a mountain road across the Toyama and Nagano prefectures.

Located North of Tokyo, on the so-called ‘Roof of Japan’, a 55- miles-long (90 km) route, the Snow Wall is easily the star of the show.

Curious travelers can visit the sight for a very limited time only. In 2019, the snow corridor is open to pedestrians from April 15 to June 22.

Once here, tourists can indulge in an hour’s walk through the icy passages.

Even though accessible for few months only, the Snow Wall Walk is a huge tourism attraction with approximately 5000 daily visitors

At its highest point the snow wall reaches as high as 55 ft (17 meters).

An average round-trip ticket price for an adult costs around $40.

In order to prepare this road for visitors, the Japanese use special snowplow trucks that are created precisely for this location.

In the north of Japan there’s Aomori City, home to 300,000 people.

Blizzards and ice storms turn the nature/forest surrounding Aomori into a unique viewing.

Icy Siberian winds sweep into Japan by bringing massive amounts of snow that pile up in unusual formations, proving that nature is a one-of-a-kind artist.

Even though annual snow-cleaning costs around $30 million, the frozen wonderland that the snow creates here makes it more than worth it.

Country with leaders that are quite sensible turning everything available into tourism which translate to cash but over here it's a different song.. Only God knows when Nigeria will ever get to this level.
