I have been to Japan since last April. It was my first time driving around Japan. I mostly wrote about it on my own website, and my friends suggested that I should post it on Pantip.com to share my experience. Actually, I wrote about it every day I went, but this is just the highlights. All photos were taken with my Galaxy Note 3.



Today marks the 8th day of our trip, and we're heading to Murodo. Yesterday, we arrived at Tateyama Station in the late afternoon, and to our surprise, the ascent was far from easy. We had to take a series of cable cars and buses, which allowed us to take in the breathtaking scenery and soak in the atmosphere. Don't forget to bring sunglasses and sunscreen, as the sun can be intense even in the cold weather. It's also advisable to pack warm clothes, as the temperature can fluctuate between hot and cold. Remember, staying healthy is key to enjoying your trip to the fullest.



At 6:00 AM Japan time, we naively thought that no one would be lining up to buy tickets since we were staying so close to the venue. We opened the window, expecting to gloat, but we were immediately met with a long queue. We quickly jumped out of bed, threw on our clothes, and joined the line.



I got a ticket for 4,310 yen for a round-trip from Tateyama to Murodo. Then I will have breakfast.



The morning symptoms are the same as before, but I didn't feel full this morning.



We decided to skip showering due to the cold weather and immediately started our journey after breakfast. As we had purchased tickets for 8:00 AM and the snow wall was scheduled to open at 10:00 AM, we wanted to ensure ample time to explore the surrounding scenery.


First, go and join the queue. There will be a queue for individuals on the left and a queue for groups on the right. Don't forget to bring a bottle of water or buy one before you go up, as it is very expensive up there.



The cable car ride offers scenic views, but the ascent itself is unremarkable.



Upon reaching the second level of the cable car, you will need to wait in line again. This is because the cable cars operate on a fixed schedule and do not depart early. Japan is known for its punctuality and strict adherence to rules.



Upon arrival, we will board a low-emission electric hybrid bus. This innovative technology is truly impressive.



During the journey, there will be commentary on the TV in the car in several languages at important points, such as trees that are over 300 years old. These trees are truly massive, and there are many more like them in the park.



Following the path, you will see a waterfall on the other side of the mountain. It is beautiful. The driver will slowly stop at each corner so that everyone in the car can enjoy the view. It's not just a quick glance and then passing by. More importantly, they keep time very well. The videos narrated on TV are exactly at the different points. The entry and exit times are precise. This is the discipline of the Japanese people.



I continued driving, capturing the breathtaking scenery. As someone from the countryside, I had never encountered such heavy snowfall. While my trip to Germany was a bit disappointing, this experience has made up for it. I observed couples enjoying the moment together, and while I felt a pang of loneliness, I embraced the joy of the journey.



The route will include a stop at a school located within the park. Accommodation options will be provided for those interested in staying overnight. The area offers opportunities for skiing and experiencing the cold weather.



Upon reaching Murodo, we immediately ascended to the observation point to capture photographs while anticipating the 10:00 AM opening of the snow wall viewing. The location was bustling with tourists, primarily Chinese, as usual.



Before reaching the real snow, there is a small snow wall on the right side where you can try walking around.



When it's time to open, let's start walking out. There will be ropes to guide us along a clear path, and we can choose our own route. And when we come out, there's a small slide to play on too. Give it a try! No matter your age, if you're feeling old, try coming back to being a child again. It's not easy to play like this, so let's have some fun!



It's time to see the snow wall! I'm excited and happy. This is my first time in Japan, and I've experienced almost everything.



Here's another picture. After walking around, I'll loop back to where I started.



This snow wall is only open once a year. Everyone who comes here should visit at least once. Actually, there is a long cable car ride that goes from Nagano to Tateyama. If you want to try it, you can, but it takes a long time. Or, if you want to stay at a hotel on the mountain, that's good too. You can go skiing right away. But I like Hakuba better. When I fall in love with something, I get stuck on it, just like #love.



After finishing our business, we headed down around noon and drove back. We had to stop at Nyuzen to see the tulip fields. They had arranged the tulip fields for us to visit and take pictures. In the area, they also sold everything related to tulips, including bulbs for planting. While I'm not particularly fond of flowers, I must admit that I enjoyed the experience.



Gazing at the flowers, I also looked out at the view of the mountains and the Shinkansen train passing by. I couldn't resist taking some beautiful photos. Ladies who love flowers, you won't be disappointed. As for me, a rough and tumble guy, I'll be your guide.



After that, we drove back to Nagano. It was another day filled with amazing discoveries along the way. I had been dreaming of going there for so long, and when I finally did, I was beyond excited.
