Huge maze of snow Cannot produce due to lack of snow
A huge snow maze, popular with tourists, can no longer be created due to the record-breaking lack of snow, set up in response to the "Drift Ice Festival" held every February in Monbetsu, Hokkaido.
At the Monbetsu Drift Ice Festival, which will be held in Monbetsu, Hokkaido from next month, preparations were made, including making ice statues on the 14th.
Meanwhile, the huge snow maze, which is installed every year at the venue adjacent to the Drift Ice Festival and is popular with tourists, can no longer be created due to the record-breaking lack of snow.
A huge maze of snow is created by a local citizen's group in a venue of 4800 square meters, collecting snow removed in the city and 2,000 trucks, but since there is almost no snow in the city, it is necessary to make it I gave up.
According to civic groups, the huge snow maze has been created for about 30 years, but it is the second time that snow can not be produced due to lack of snow.
Ms. Yasuharu Mori of the citizen group "Aisland Republic" says, "I am in trouble because I have to prepare an event to replace the huge snow maze. Other events will be held as scheduled, so I want you to come and play." Talking
