* ENBURI FESTIVAL
"No matter how long the winter, it always comes to an end." As the annual four-day festival of "Enburi" draws near, the phrase crosses the minds of the people of Hachinohe. Seeing the dynamic dance and the contrast between the dancers' brightly colored attire and the snow-covered earth, people feel that spring is almost here.

During the "Snow and Light Fantavista" of Lake Towada, however, the lake becomes a destination for entertainment-seekers. The snow-covered world further enhances the beauty of fireworks bursting across the winter night sky.
