Aspite Line Snow Corridor

The Hachimantai Aspite Line is a 27 km long driveway connecting Iwate and Akita.

It is closed to traffic during the winter, and after it is lifted in mid-April, it becomes a “snow corridor” that opens up to the snow-covered mountains.

The highest wall is 8 meters high and is overwhelmingly powerful.

Visitors can also enjoy the spectacular view from the cherry blossoms and the rest house at the top of the mountain, and enjoy the charm of winter and spring.

Amazingly long snow corridor

The Hachimantai Aspite Line is the longest snow corridor in Japan at 27 km in length.

As you approach the top, the walls become higher and higher, reaching a maximum height of 8 meters.

Visitors can enjoy a spectacular drive while admiring this magnificent scenery.

Many people visit in mid-April, when the winter road closure is lifted.

The wall of snow that begins to melt with the arrival of spring is a rare sight that can only be seen during a limited period of time.

Enjoy the cherry blossoms along with the snow corridor!

There are many places famous for cherry blossoms at the foot of Hachimantai, and it is recommended to enjoy the cherry blossoms after visiting the Snow Corridor.

The special Hachimantai strolling bus service “Sakura to Yukino Kairo-go” is also popular, allowing visitors to enjoy the Snow Corridor and cherry blossom viewing together.

There is a rest house at the top of the Hachimantai Aspite Line, from which you can enjoy a wonderful view.

Relax after a tiring drive while enjoying the beauty of the mountains and the breath of nature.

There is also the nearby Fujishichi Onsen hot spring, so relaxing in a hot spring bath is also recommended.
