Hakuba Norikura's humble information center building, known as "Chanmero", is home to a surprising secret: inside its nondescript shell lies a huge, high-level sport-climbing wall.
The facilities were extensively renovated and expanded during the winter of 2018 and now include areas for both lead climbing and bouldering, featuring several expansive overhangs and an extended traverse wall.
