Lake Shikotsu was our first Ice Festival in Hokkaido on a bitterly cold day with wind gusts whipping across the lake. I felt so sorry for the poor workers! This is small festival with gorgeous ice caves, icicles and sculptures.
And green me is not channeling Kermit the Frog or Elphaba in Wicked. Lights reflecting off Reindeer Moss in the cave gave a green look to everything!
