The annual Yairo no Mori Kids Snow Festival is a seasonal event designed with the little ones in mind. Held at Urasa's Yairo no Mori Park, the area turns into a winter wonderland in the colder months and the wide open space is perfect for burning off some energy outdoors.
The event has plenty to keep children occupied including a bouncy castle, hills set up for sledding, banana boat rides, opportunities to try mochi pounding and stage show performances.
There are also a wide range of child-friendly festival foods available to enjoy at reasonable prices. Bring some yen with you if you plan on grabbing a bite.

The Yairo no Mori Kids Snow Festival is held at Yairo no Mori Park. The area can be accessed on foot from Urasa Station in approximately 10 minutes. Taxis are also available from the station.
