Yukihatago no Akari Festival

The Gassan Shizu region used to be a post town for pilgrims who were going to the three sacred mountains more than 400 years ago. This event is unique and can be held only in this region. It uses the rich snowfall, which reaches 6 m during the winter season, to build a row of inns made of snow. What was a single inn at first now became an entire post town of that period that consists of a row of elegant inns. The visitors can enjoy this scenery only for a limited period. The presence of the snow inns in the town is getting stronger with the sunset. Shizu Onsen town is enveloped with a mystical atmosphere created by the soft light of the candles and the elegant buildings. Inns with special features, such as inns with a fireplace and two-story inns, have been reproduced for the enjoyment of the visitors.
