Biwa Kohoku Famous Water Town Maibara|Shaved ice campaign with melted snow in Oku Ibuki
Lake Biwa no Moto in Yonehara City, Shiga Prefecture, will carry out a shaved ice campaign "Snow Dancing Yonehara Shaved Ice Trip" in cooperation with restaurants in Yonehara City. The period is until Friday, September 31st.
campaign 10 target stores in the city (see the official website) offer original shaved ice with ice made from "Oku-Ibuki no Snow Mountain Water," which is snowmelt water that flows into the river in the Oku-Ibuki area, which is surrounded by the northernmost mountains of Yonehara City. At the same time, a stamp rally will be held to win accommodation vouchers for glamping facilities on the shores of Lake Biwa, and an Instagram photo contest to win Amazon gifts and special products from Yonehara City.
Yonehara City, located in the northern part of Lake Biwa, is a "famous water town" dotted with more than 250 springs. This area is characterized by the circulation of water that falls on mountains such as Mt. Ibuki in winter and pours from the Sister River and Amano River into Lake Biwa.
"Yonehara is one of the heaviest snowfall areas on the Tokaido Shinkansen section, and although there are many problems with railway operations due to snow, we would like to improve the image of the snowy mountains by providing them with shaved ice." I am telling you.
