Igloo making, Snow sledding, and Snowshoe walking in the pure white snow must attract you.
“Kamakura”(dome-shaped snow house) & Igloo Making
The real pleasure to enjoy the winter wonder land in the deep snowy “Hida” area is making “Kamakura”.
After piling the snow up in a dorm shape, dig the inside out to make a room.
Making plenty of snow blocks is necessary for igloo making.
Lot of hands & big efforts are required to build a huge one where several people can stay in together.
The great satisfaction after completing the whole work is something exceptional.
