Today is the first day/night of the annual Tokabochi Tokamachi Snow Festival.

 

Tokamachi is about 30 minutes drive from Muikamachi, in the next valley parallel to where I am.

 

We had clear skies earlier on this evening but it started snowing which kind of spoilt some of the later photos I took, but here's some anyway to get an idea of what was on show.

Good fun hey muika. Glad you made it over.

 

You can get the Hoku-hoku train line from Yuzawa - it goes through Muikamachi and then under the mountains to Tokamachi. Takes just less than 30 minutes.

They are actually all over the place - some quite a few km from the middle of Tokamachi.

There's a few 'hiroba' type areas that have a few together but generally they are dotted around Tokamachi.

You really need a car to go round and see them all.

Some are slap bang in the middle of tiny neighbourhoods with only narrow roads all round.
