The 1st Asakusa Snow Festival (Asakusa Yuki Matsuri)
January 24 and 25, 2015
The 1st Snow Festival in Asakusa will be held on January 24 and 25. This winter, we do not have much snow yet in Tokyo. In this event, the 60 tons of snow will be delivered from Yamagata prefecture to the Senzoku Elementary School in Asakusa. If you do not have time to go north and see snow, it is a great chance to play in the snow.
Jan. 24, 11:00-19:00
Jan. 25, 10:00-17:00
