What are the dreamy ice and snow landscapes in Japan?

Number 8? Ten Hotan Lake (Aomori Prefecture and Akita Prefecture)

Ten Hotan Lake, a volcanic lake located in the northeast of Japan and spanning Akita Prefecture and Aomori Prefecture, is a typical double volcanic lake. The lake is blue, shining all the year round, emitting a mysterious atmosphere. Overlooking the snow on the sightseeing boat, if you are lucky, you can see the ice like lotus leaves.

At the beginning of February every year, there will be the biggest snow festival in Northeast China-the winter story of Ten Hotan Lake, snow sculpture, Snowy Winter Bar and Light Exhibition ... The lights at the beginning of the lake match the fireworks in winter, which is beautiful.

The 7th Yokosuga Snow Cave Festival (Akita Prefecture)

In Yokosuka City, Akita Prefecture, the birthplace of the snow cave, there is a 400-year-old traditional first month ritual to worship the water god every winter, that is, the snow cave (house) sacrifice. Hundreds of igloos were built in four snow cave sites in the city.

The snow cave is about 3~4 meters in diameter and can accommodate five or six adults. There is a shrine in the snow cave where you can visit the water god. Friends drink sweet wine and make traditional rice cakes here. In addition, there will be mini snow caves made by children themselves. When night falls, they will light candles like elves in the snow.

Number six? Zangwangshan (Yamagata Prefecture)

Located in Yamagata Prefecture, the Tibetan King Mountain is a stunning scene of "Snow Monster" every winter, which can be called a work of art in nature. Trees are covered with ice and snow and grow thickly. Every year in early February, the "Bing Wang Tree Festival in Tibet" is held here.

The scenery after lighting is more dreamy and has become a popular landscape. The Tibetan king rime, known as the "Snow Monster", had different shapes and was wonderful in different periods of his visit. You don't need to climb mountains or ski to watch, you can enjoy this natural beauty by sitting on the cable car.

Number five? Shitian Town Terrace (Niigata Prefecture)

Selected as one of the "Hometowns of Japan 100", Xingdongtai presents an idyllic scenery full of nostalgia. When the meteorological conditions are suitable, you can also enjoy the wonders of the sea of clouds in the early morning. When the sun rises, the sea of clouds radiates golden light, adding dreamy colors to the terraces.

In winter, it is very special to visit the terraced fields of Baishen. In addition, in winter, for a limited period of time, such as the snow scene and snowflakes in winter, dazzling fireworks slowly fall in the white snow scene, which is different from the fireworks in summer.

Number four? Visit the lake (Nagano Prefecture)

Sakai Lake, located in the center of Nagano Prefecture, is the prototype of Sakai Lake in the heroine's residential area in Makoto Shinkai's film Your Name.

Late autumn and winter are the most beautiful seasons to visit the lake. In winter, the lake is completely frozen, and the temperature difference between day and night makes the lake expand and contract, and the ice surface cracks, forming a "Shinto". Shinto is considered as the way for God to visit the shrine from the south bank to the north bank. In the continuous low temperature, the ice on the lake cracked and the ice surface rose by more than one meter, which is called "Rain God Crossing". These are wonders that can't be seen in warm winter.

Transparency ranks first in Japan, second only to Lake Baikal in the world. Zhoumo Lake is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the seasonal changes. In winter, the transparency of the lake becomes higher, and the rime of climbing branches contrasts with the blue lake, and the sapphire lake reflects the rime.

Number two? Snow in Tottori Dune (Tottori Prefecture)

Tottori Dune, the largest sand dune in Japan, has provided a lot of photographic inspiration for Japanese photographer Sh?ji Ueda, and it is also the stage for most of his works.

In winter, Tottori dunes turn white under the cover of snow, and the small pools formed by the depressions of the dunes add a lot of color to the endless hills. Go to the dunes to enjoy the snow in the morning without leaving footprints. When the weather is clear, the transparent blue sky and pure white snow are in sharp contrast and dreamy.
