Making KAMAKURA – Japanese snow huts – in SATOYAMA
Meeting place “Sato-no-i-e” is a traditional Japanese house which was built over 150 years ago. Making Kamakura (Japanese snow huts) in the midst of nostalgic landscapes will be an unforgettable experience. They usually have about 2 to 4 meters of snow at SATOYAMA in Iiyama.
After making Kamakura, prepare for lunch. Please enjoy traditional Japanese dishes to warm your body and heart.
Another exciting snow activity is sledding. You will be riding on a slope that’s part of a rice field in summer. It’s fun because you don’t know where it will take you!
