Why You Should Visit

At Rokko's GREENIA athletic park, the Midsummer Snow Festival returns for the first time in seven years, hauling about 100 tons of snow up the mountain in midsummer. A snow field up to 16 meters square hosts snow play and a treasure hunt, and this year adds a new water-gun shooting game on a snow hill. At around 850m elevation — about 5°C cooler than the city — you can touch snow in the heat of summer. It runs about 18 days, mostly weekends, holidays and the Obon period; snow play and the treasure hunt are included with GREENIA admission.
