Building A Snow IGLOO in Towada city

Build a Winter Hideout! Igloo-Making Experience.

Enjoy crafting a igloo and savor a steaming hot horse meat stew made with  ingredients from Aomori and Towada city for lunch!

‍

What is an Igloo?

　　An igloo is a snow house built by stacking snow blocks.Originally crafted by the indigenous peoples of North America's frigid regions,

　　igloos are dome-shaped structures designed to withstand the harsh winter cold.

‍

‍

How Do You Build One?

First, march across the snow together to pack it down tightly underfoot.

Once the snow is firm, use a special saw to cut it into block shapes.
Next, carry the snow blocks and stack them in a dome shape.

Adjust the balance carefully as you shape the structure — it’s trickier than it looks!

Creating a cool dome requires not just technique but also teamwork.

Igloo-building may seem simple, but it’s surprisingly deep and rewarding!

‍

The Highlight: Piping Hot Horse Meat Stew!

During lunchtime, we’ll serve a delicious horse meat stew made with fresh local ingredients from Towada.

This warm, hearty stew is the perfect remedy to revive your chilled body!

After a well-deserved break, you’ll be just a few steps away from completing your igloo masterpiece.
