OKUKINU ICE WEEK

This is a unique winter outdoor event held in the Okukinu Onsen, the last unexplored region of the Kanto area. You can enjoy winter activities amidst the serene snow-covered landscape and clear, crisp air. While day trips are enjoyable, we recommend staying overnight to fully indulge in the snowy outdoor baths with flowing hot spring water and savor meals made with local ingredients at Okukinu Onsen.
