What is "Yukino Otani?

Tateyama Murododaira, located at an elevation of 2,450 meters, is one of the world's heaviest snowfall areas, and the "Otani" area in particular has a lot of snow because it is a snowdrift area. The giant wall of snow that is created by plowing the road through this "Otani" is called "Yukino Otani," and this year it was 14 meters high.
