Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce "Hitoshi Matsubuchi's post "Yokote kamakura" in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture". The beautiful pillow and the scenery of the snow sparkling are fantastic. The Yokote Snow Festival (Yokote no Yuki Matsuri) held in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture in the Tohoku region is held every February as a small New Year event dedicated to the god of water. One of the most popular events in the festival is the Yokote Kamakura. About 100 kamakura with a height of about 3 meters will be made throughout the city. In addition to large kamakura made by craftsmen, there are also mini kamakura made by local elementary school students. Also, in the kamakura, children serve amazake and mochi. It is a traditional festival full of snow country atmosphere that is said to have a history of more than 450 years. In 2023, it is scheduled to be held on February 15 and 16. In order to hold some of the festivals with a reduced number of contents, please check the official website for details. Around Yokote City, there are plenty of hot spring inns such as "Akimiya Hot Spring Village". In conjunction with the festival, why not plan a trip where you can enjoy the nature and taste of Akita Prefecture? ◆Yokote Snow Festival◆ 【Access】 10-minute walk from JR Ou Main Line Yokote Station Free kamakura venue shuttle bus available (17:40~21:00)

It is "Yokote kamakura" in Yokote City, Akita Prefecture. "Kamakura" is a small New Year's event dedicated to the god of water, and children among the kamakura shout "Enter! They talk to tourists and treat them with mochi and amazake.
This photo is from the "Kamakura" photo session venue, but the best position was super full and I regretted being late, but if I dared to take it from a position where no one was looking, I was able to take a really nice photo and I was very satisfied with the "Kamakura" photo.

Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"! This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video". Today, I would like to introduce "KSK1991FKSM" post "Snowy scenery of Ginzan Onsen". The retro cityscape illuminated by the warm streets is a beautiful piece. Ginzan Onsen is a hot spring town located in Obanazawa City, Yamagata Prefecture in the Tohoku region, which has been selected as the "No. 1 hot spring atmosphere of the East". The nostalgic scenery of inns built from the end of the Taisho period to the early Showa period is impressive. The old-fashioned cityscape is also famous as a filming location for the drama "Oshin" and is said to have been the model for the Ghibli movie "Spirited Away". Not only in the daytime, but also in the fantastic night view with the sparkling streets, it is also popular as an Instagrammable spot. Along the river of Ginzan Onsen, there are many inns where you can enjoy the Taisho romance. Among them, we recommend the popular ryokan "Ginzan Onsen Traditional Inn Furuyamakaku", a colorless and transparent 100% free-flowing hot spring, and you can also enjoy a private open-air bath made of cypress. The registered cultural property inn "Notoya Ryokan" is a three-story wooden inn where you can feel the world view of Spirited Away. The hot springs have open-air baths and cave baths, and dishes such as Obanazawa beef and duck made with local ingredients are also attractive. For day trips, we also recommend the communal bath Shirogane-yu (usage fee 500 yen) and the free Waraku Foot Bath. ◆Access ◆ About 3 hours by Yamagata Shinkansen from Tokyo + 40 minutes by direct bus 【For day trips】 Parking at the "Shared Parking Lot" and "Taisho Roman Museum Mae" (There is no day-trip sightseeing parking lot beyond the shared parking lot) From each parking lot, take a paid bus.
