Snow festivals in Japan that you must see once in your life ☃️ Now is the time to get the best deals and tips for traveling ✨

How many Japanese festivals have you been to? This time, I will introduce you to a Japanese festival that you should visit this winter☃️This time, I will introduce you to the "Yokote Snow Festival "Kamakura"" held every year from February 15th to 16th in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. About 80 kamakura, about 3 meters tall, are set up in the city, and thousands of them lined up on the banks of the Yokote River create an indescribably fantastical scene✨✨The photo of the riverbank was taken from the bridge, but you can actually go down to the riverbank and take photos up close📸 There is also a festival at Yokote Castle, about a 10-minute walk from here, which is also worth going to🏯 🏷️How to get there at a good price🏷️ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーThere are two ways to get to Yokote: by "Shinkansen" and by "plane"🚄In the case of Shinkansen🚄If you use "Eki-net", an online service provided by JR East, you can purchase tickets now at 10% off the regular price! Normally, the fare from Tokyo Station to Omagari Station is 16,950 yen, but now it is 15,420 yen. However, please note that you cannot guarantee the ticket will be available and it is sold out one month in advance by lottery. ⚠️✈️By plane✈️If you are flying, take the "Misato" bus (reservation required) from Akita Airport to "Ugosakai Station", and from there to "Yokote Station". If you fly up to 28 days in advance, you can currently fly from Haneda Airport for 12,370 yen😍Please note that after that date, the fare will increase by 5,000 yen⚠️💰The fare to Yokote Station💰For Shinkansen: 15,750 yen (Tokyo Station → Yokote Station)For plane: 16,140 yen (Haneda Airport → Yokote Station) *If going via Akita Station, it will be 14,660 yen. 30 minutes extra for each person (Akita Airport → Akita Station → Yokote Station)----------------------------Of course, there are those who think it would be a waste to go just for this festival, right?If you are going by train, please also consider the following! ・Take the Tazawako Tour Bus around Lake Tazawa in winter🚍・Enjoy the samurai residences in Kakunodate🚶That's it! What do you think! Please visit Akita this winter☃️There is another festival I want you to visit in February! That is the "Nagasaki Lantern Festival" in Nagasaki. Please refer to the details below! This year it will be held from 2/9 to 25. Information included🏨✈️ ~ ...
