Traditional Dango-sashi and Kamakura Snow Igloo Experience at Former Kuimaru Elementary School

About this event

Set in the wooden schoolhouse of former Kuimaru Elementary School in Showa Village, Fukushima Prefecture, a winter-exclusive traditional event featuring "Dango-sashi" and an igloo (kamakura) experience will be held. In "Dango-sashi," participants make colorful dumplings and decorate mizunoki (dogwood) branches with them. This hands-on process captivates both children and adults, and participants can take home the dango-sashi they make. Inside the kamakura, a magical space unfolds where it feels surprisingly warm compared to the cold outside. Inside the kamakura, you can enjoy special kenchin soba noodles from Soba Cafe SCHOLA, and relax with cake and coffee (or black tea). Offering a sensory experience of snow country life and traditional culture, this event is recommended for families, couples, international tourists, and those considering relocating. Showa Village Tourism Association staff will provide attentive guidance, and you will enjoy dango-sashi together with local women ("anesama-gata"). Please come and create special memories in the snowy Showa Village.
