Snow Corridor "Norikura Highlands"
Norikura Highlands is a large plateau surrounded by nature and mountains east of Mt. Norikuradake (3,026 m), which is the 10th highest mountain and one of the younger volcanoes in Japan. You can enjoy the magnificent views from the Japan's highest skyline - 2,700 m in Norikura. Also, there are many viewpoints like waterfalls, flower meadows, and caldera lakes.
