Time to get your glow on! ๐ Yokote Kamakura Festival in Yokote, Akita Prefecture is a truly wondrous spectacle. Dating back some 450 years, the festival was originally held to pray to the water deity for good health, business prosperity and plentiful harvests.ย ๐๐ป
The event features over 80 kamakura (igloo-like snow houses) where you can enjoy amazake and mochi, as well as a sea of mini kamukura illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. ๐ฏ๏ธโจ
Note: The festival has been cancelled this year but is usually held on 15-16 February each year.
