The Akita Snow Cave Museum: A Dreamlike Yokote Snow Festival

Akita in winter is like a dreamlike snow country. Every year, the grand Yokote Snow Festival is held in Yokote City, attracting countless tourists to experience the charm of winter. The Yokote Snow Festival has a history of over 450 years and is a traditional event during the Little New Year. Every winter, about 80 snow caves are built in the city. These snow caves are not only artistic creations but also important symbols of local culture. Visiting the Snow Cave Museum offers an opportunity to learn about the origins and evolution of these snow caves and to feel the local residents' appreciation and love for this tradition. In the museum, you can also personally experience wearing traditional padded half-coats. Wearing these thick clothes and walking into a real snow cave, you will feel the warmth and comfort of the snow cave's interior. The snow walls emit a faint glow, helping you understand the historical significance of snow caves.
