Our guide is Shunsuke Oouchi, who works at a local shop. The first stop is Lake Inawashiro, Tohoku's biggest lake. It's famous for migrating swans in the winter, and the natural ice sculptures are perfect for your social media feed! And, Shunsuke recommends snow-harvested cabbage, which is extra sweet after ripening under the snow. Plus, take a 30-minute drive to Lake Hibara in Urabandai and enjoy snowmobiling on the frozen lake, ice fishing for wakasagi, hot springs, and more!
