oblivion 5 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I just saw something on the news about this - what is it? Some kind of snow festival? Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think it's a festival to make some snow igloos and stay in them eating local old food cold kiritanpo. Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I went last year. I LOVE the miso kiritampo (yaki). Anyway, it's a yuki-matsuri (3 days I think) and the townspeople build kamakura's and you can stop in for some mochi or amaezake and give whatever you want as a donation...or nothing at all. I would have gone again this year but I'm too busy. Yokote is a nice sleepy little town with a castle and nice people. Link to post Share on other sites

woywoy 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Where is Yokote? I am looking at a ryokan holiday break for a weekend somewhere there are cool kamakuras. Igloos are really cool and I wanna eat dinner in one! Link to post Share on other sites

gamera 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Anytime Just wondered if you knew it or not coz if they found any bears, they might shoot them. Kintaro always rides on a bear holding a masakari(a broadax) in your hand, right? Link to post Share on other sites
