Lake Akan ice festival

After dinner we wander out into the cold, the really really cold, to the ice festival out on the lake. Ice carving, snow mobile rides and fireworks and all at -9 degrees Celsius. The life sized ice Totoro was a highlight for me. That is way to much excitement for one night so it is back to our room, where the futons have been laid out, and to the 40 degree spa under the stars.
