Climate & Clothing

Q

What type of clothes do I need?

A

Since Murodo-daira is located at high altitude, the temperature is about 12 to 15 degrees lower than that in the flatlands. You should, therefore, bring rain gear or warm outfits for cold weather in preparation for a rapid change in weather and other contingencies. For footgear, sneakers or trekking shoes are recommended. The Hotel lends boots for free (only to overnight guests).

Points of Interest

Q

How can I visit the snow corridor?

A

There is an exit leading to the snow corridor on the 1st floor of Murodo Terminal. The entrance to the snow corridor is about 100 m from the exit, and the highest snow walls are about 400 m ahead along the corridor, about a 20-minute walk. The total walking time required is about 1 hour.

Q

Can I walk along the snow corridor at any time?

A

The snow corridor is a road used by local and chartered buses. From April to June, the roadside strip is not exposed for walking on and it is difficult for bus drivers to see pedestrians. We do not recommend walking along the road except when a walking event is being held. Please participate in an organized “Yuki-no-Otani” Snow Wall Walk or one of Hotel Tateyama’s “Snow Wall Walk” events.

Q

I’d like to see snow. When is that possible?

A

In April and May, the Murodo plateau is covered in plentiful snow. The snow normally remains until June. Snow has usually disappeared from the boardwalks around the hotel by late June, and from Mikuragaike pond by late July. The first snows fall on the Murodo plateau in October with continuous snow cover from November.
