Japan, it is world's best heavy snow country. How do Japanese people pass this severe winter season? We have visited New year's festival called "Kamakura Matsuri" in Akita Prefecture which have 450 years history. In the snow room called "Kamakura," there is altar and "Suijinsama" (water god) is enshrined. People have depended on "Suijinsama" through the winter season and pray for good harvest in Autumn. We will experience the "Spirit" of people's life spending more than 5 months of the year with the snow.
