(_ Wang _まつり)

When it comes to Japanese ice and snow festivals, most of them are between a few days and a week or two, so we must catch the right time to see them. The Tibetan Wang Shubing Festival in Yamagata Prefecture can be said to be very considerate of everyone, and the time span is as long as three months.

This winter's Tree Ice Festival has started from December 22nd, 218 and will last until March 3rd, 219.

The so-called tree ice refers to the fact that the temperature drops below zero from November to December every year, and the strong wind blows the excessively cooled water droplets and snow to the Abies fargesii on the mountain, making them adhere to the trees, forming various "ice trees".

The holding time of Tree Ice Festival corresponds to the appearance time of Tree Ice, and February is the best viewing time.

Seeing the tree ice is going to the Tibetan King Hot Spring Ski Resort, so it will definitely not be a boring trip. The cable car connects the hot spring street at the foot of the mountain with the ski resort on the mountain. During the day, you can ski and watch the ice, and at night you can relax in the hot spring hotel.

if you catch up with the fine weather, don't forget to look at the tree ice that lights up the lanterns at night. Especially in February, except every Tuesday, lights are lit on other days. Visitors who come to the top of the mountain from 17: to 21: can enjoy fantastic scenery and take a snowmobile to enjoy it at close range.

There are two special activities in the Mountain Lake Ice and Snow Festival in February. The first is "Diamond Fuji weeks", because the climate in February is relatively stable, and it is more likely to see "Diamond Fuji" at the bank of Shanzhonghu Village at sunset.

The second is the "icecandle" event on February 16th. After sunset, KIRARA, the exchange square where the Ice and Snow Festival will be held, will light several flickering candles from 17: 3 to create a fantastic night view of Fuji.
