How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
An alpine pass where the road runs between towering walls of snow. The designers say it should make you feel tiny, like driving through a well kept secret.
The real place
The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route crosses the Northern Alps between Toyama and Omachi in Nagano. Near Murodo, the snow walls of Yuki-no-Otani can reach about 20 metres when the route reopens in spring.
Visiting
Private cars are not allowed on the route; you travel by bus, cable car, ropeway and trolleybus. The snow corridor walk is open from mid-April into June, and it is cold up there even in May.
