Festival highlights

A major highlight is the “Snowfield Orange Hunt,” where participants search for oranges scattered across the snow.

The vivid orange stands out against the white snow, and the event is described as participants running around the snowy field.

Another distinctive feature of the festival is that, after playing in the snow, visitors can head to Karurusu Onsen and relax in the warm water while taking in the snowy scenery.
