This week’s theme: Original
Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture, Japan Snow Festival: Original design of things made out of SNOW.
In my husband’s home town, snow piles up to 3 meters (click the link..the pictures are taken from M’s hometown during the start of winter) even in early spring. The people in his town organized the annual snow festival to attract tourists to the always barren, white winter wonderland and utilize all the snow to good use.
