Hirosaki Lantern Festival

From Lantern festival 2010

Back in Aomori now and the snow is just as heavy. But good news because I visited the Hirosaki snow lantern festival.

You may remember Hirosaki park from some other posts but if not I'll refresh your memory.

The highlight was to see these lanterns made out of snow.
It also seems many schools, companies and volunteers had made a lot of things out of snow.

But the highlight was the 9meter snow bank.

Sadly the pictures are a bit poor due to the lack of lighting and tripod but there were some lovely displays of light around the park.

Further good news, I've paid for more space on Picasa so you can see all my pictures back on there.

Enjoy...
