Rikubetsu Shibare Festival
The theme of the event was “Enjoy the cold” and it was the hottest event in Japan. Extreme Cold Event
This event is held during the coldest season in Rikubetsu-cho, said to be the coldest town in Japan, to enjoy the cold. The “Human Cold Test,” a grueling challenge to endure a night of extreme cold in a balloon mansion, requires advance reservations, so be sure to make your reservations as early as possible. At night, the “Fire of Life,” the only way to stay warm, is lit in the center of the venue. In addition, fireworks will be set off and a towel spinning championship will be held, in which only challengers can participate. Those who can endure the extreme cold, which can reach minus 20 degrees Celsius or lower, are welcome to take up the challenge!
