But to reach them, you must first use a series of mountain transports - starting from the Nagano-side of the mountain - including electric tunnel buses, cable cars and a ropeway. Though only 5-minutes
All transport costs are included the price of the tour.
... and while there, keep your eyes open for the local residents!
Indeed, using the mountain transport to reach the Snow Walls is all part of the adventure.
