We have been holding the “World of Ice” event since December last year. From Saturday, January 18, 2025, we will be opening the ice caves and ice bars that have become a hot topic all over the world. An opening ceremony will also be held in conjunction with the release. We will also have time for members of the media to tour the facility and interview visitors, so we would appreciate it if you could take this opportunity to interview us. ◆What is the world of ice? This is the fifth year of this event, which focuses on the cold weather in the Yabukawa region, which is said to be the “coldest region in Honshu.” We launched a project based on the idea of ​​“let’s take advantage of the cold weather and build an ice cave” to revitalize the region by taking advantage of the cold weather, which is often avoided. The huge “ice cave” that is the symbol of the event is 10 meters long and 5 meters high. The work was completed after one month of 24-hour watering. The event, which started during the coronavirus pandemic, has gradually increased the number of visitors thanks to the influence of social media, and last year it attracted visitors not only from inside and outside the prefecture but also from Asia. Last year’s results were sluggish due to the warm winter, but the total number of participants was 10,000. For details, please see the official website.
