Fukushima Travel – Urabandai Snow Festival “Night Fantasy”

On February 21, 2026, the Urabandai Snow Festival Night Fantasy was held in Urabandai, transforming the deep-snow landscape into a glowing winter wonderland.

Throughout the day, visitors enjoyed a variety of seasonal activities and local performances. As night fell, the atmosphere shifted into something truly magical.

Participants lit countless candles, gently placing them across the frozen surface of Renge Numa, creating a warm, flickering glow against the icy white scenery.

The reflection of candlelight on the frozen marsh, surrounded by the heavy snow unique to Urabandai, created an unforgettable and almost dreamlike view.

Fireworks Over a Snow-Covered Landscape

The highlight of the evening was a spectacular fireworks display. Brilliant colors burst across the crisp winter sky, illuminating the snow-covered mountains and forests. The contrast between fire and snow, warmth and cold, made the experience especially dramatic and beautiful.

Taste the Flavors of Urabandai

Visitors could also savor dishes made with local specialty mountain salt (Yama-shio), a prized regional ingredient. From savory warm meals to creative local specialties, the festival offered a true taste of winter in Fukushima.

The Urabandai Snow Festival is more than an event—it is an immersive winter experience filled with light, flavor, and community spirit.

If you are seeking a magical winter memory in Japan, this is a festival you should experience at least once.
