SnowJapan.Com#3 0 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 A new feature, "Nozawa Dosojin Fire Festival", by Kat Laine (nekobi), has been put online. http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-75.html "Every January, the Nagano JET email list gets bombarded with talk about the craziest thing you’ll see in Japan- the Dosojin Fire Festival. Promises of snow, sake, and fire entice lots of Japanese and foreigners to the quaint ski village of Nozawa Onsen. This year was my third time to witness the annual event." http://www.snowjapan.com/e/features/features-75.html Please note that the views expressed in any Features on Snow Japan are not necessarily those of Snow Japan.

Plucky 0 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Thanks for sharing that story! Sounds like a fun festival to attend. I'm heading up to the lake towada snow festival here in a couple weeks. Doubt it will be as exciting, but I always have fun anyway Link to post Share on other sites
