Aodaru illumination

Within the mountains of the Fukuji Onsen area stands the “Fukuji Wall” rock face. As water seeps from the rock face it freezes into columns of blue ice, known as Aodaru.
These columns of blue ice are recreated in the hot spring town.
In daytime the columns are a beautiful clear blue, and at night they are lit up to create an even more magical scene.
From early to mid February you can enjoy special events such as the “Ice Path Light-up”, that allows you to walk behind the Aodaru, and demonstrations of the local performing art of the Henbetori lion dance.

The Kamakura Festival is held in the Nakao-Kogen Highlands of Shin-Hotaka-Onsen. Each year about 7 snow huts (kamakura) of varying sizes are built around the venue.

During the event period visitors can enjoy various activities on different days, such as participating in rice cake making or seeing the local performing art of the Meoto Jishi (husband & wife lion) dance. Enjoy a fun spectacle under the starlit sky.
