In Nishikawa Town's Shizu District, at the base of the sacred Mount Gassan, snow removal activities are underway in what is known as the 'Hidden Snowiest Place in Japan'. On March 23, the media was invited to observe the remarkable snow corridors that have emerged against a backdrop of clear blue skies. The region is renowned for its heavy snowfall, making it one of the top snow zones in the country, although it lacks a weather bureau observation point to formally record these totals. Notably, an impressive 790 centimeters have been reported in the past, with this year's snow depth reaching 464 centimeters on February 4. The prefectural road leading to the Gassan Ski Resort, which has been closed for four months due to snow, began snow removal on March 9. Two rotary snow plows and five bulldozers have been used to gradually clear the heavily snow-covered roads. After the removal, snow walls were formed on either side of the road, with the highest wall reaching 940 centimeters on that day. The Gassan Ski Resort is scheduled to open on April 10, where visitors can enjoy the picturesque winter scenery unique to the 'Hidden Snowiest Place in Japan', as encouraging words from the town's tourism representative invite many to see this incredible sight before the season ends.
