A lifetime experience. Staying inside an igloo and watching beauty of Japanese architecture is a really lifetime experience. I went to Yokote city in Akita to spent sometime inside an igloo since it was my childhood dream. From the inside of the igloo I was able to the Yokote castle and multiple small igloo which really give me an extra joy. A very unique experience in my life. This year due to the global warming it is very hard to create and maintain the igloos but still the Yokote city people really work hard to maintain it. Not only that the local peoples are very friendly and approach me and talk with me. During their festival they also shared some of their instrument with me and ask me to give a try. Although I could not play it properly but it gave me immense joy and happiness. I wish next year there will be lot snowfall and many people will visit Yokote to enjoy the igloo and communicate with the most friendly people of Japan.
