"Thank you so much for coming out in such large numbers today for the Yukinko Festival! The Yukinko Festival is run by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Division, and all the guys worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time.
The North Dragon painting on the snow wall near the entrance to the reception area was made by a police officer from the Hekisui Police Station. This slide was made by the guys who always clear the snow.
"We worked hard for everyone. From now on, it's up to you children. Play hard and with all your might, and enjoy the day!" said Director Fujita in his greeting.
"Yes!" the children's cheerful voices echoed!!!
Yukinko Festival Game: Treasure Hunt Game
Plastic balls containing number cards are scattered across the pure white snow field.
At the start signal, run through the fresh snow towards the ball and dive for it! Catch the ball!
"Go and get the ball that was thrown into the snowy field and bring it back here. If you win, leave it as it is, but if you lose, go and look for it again. Everyone, keep trying until you win!" said Director Fujita!
Check the color ball you picked, and if it's a loser, try again!!!

"It went by so quickly."
"I want to ride it again!"
Children who try again and again!
A long line of children continues!
Delightful sweets gift

Snowy mountain slide
On the giant snow mountain slide, children ride large snow tubes. The slide is unexpectedly fast, and the children scream with excitement, "Aaaah! It's scary!"
