Amazing Snow wall. Murodo Plain receives some of the heaviest snowfall on the planet, with accumulations reaching as high as 66 feet - equivalent to a seven-story building. Come spring, GPS-equipped, 30-ton snow cutters - affectionately dubbed Kumataro and Kuma-o - painstakingly carve through the accumulation so buses can ply the route. This creates two towering walls on either side of the road, a phenomenon known as the Snow Wall, or Yuki-no-Otani. A 550-yard course runs between the highest section of the walls, which can be strolled on foot or traversed by bus.
