Product Info
- Chichibu Shrine
Chichibu Shrine is one of the most historic shrines in the Kanto region, having long served as the guardian deity of the Chichibu area. The current main hall was donated by Tokugawa Ieyasu and is a major highlight, featuring gorgeous architecture with beautiful carvings. Known as the center of the Chichibu Night Festival held every December, it is a representative tourist spot in Chichibu where you can experience history, culture, and local traditions.

Chichibu Nishiki Sake-zukuri no Mori is a tourist sake brewery operated by the long-established Yao Honten, founded in 1749. In addition to brewing the local sake 'Chichibu Nishiki' nurtured in the nature-rich land of Chichibu, the facility includes a museum introducing the history and tools of sake brewing, as well as a shop selling local sake and Chichibu specialties. It is a spot where you can enjoy food and tradition, and experience unique Chichibu sake culture through tastings.
- Misotsuchi Icicles
The Misotsuchi Icicles are a fantastic, icy spectacle created by the harsh winter cold of Okuchichibu. These natural icicles, formed by water gushing from rock surfaces, are works of natural art that look different every year. There are also large-scale man-made icicles in the surrounding area, allowing you to enjoy the magnificent ice formations created by nature during the day, and a fantastic landscape illuminated at night. It is a popular spot where you can experience the beautiful scenery unique to winter in Chichibu. Please note that the condition of the icicles and the opening period vary depending on weather and temperature.

Stay away from dangerous areas: Icicles are found in riverbeds. Crossing the river or throwing stones at the ice is extremely dangerous, so please refrain from doing so. There are steep slopes and icy patches, so if you are with children, be sure to hold their hands at all times.
Please note that the Thirty-Tsuchi Ice Pillars may be closed even within the opening period due to changes in weather, temperature, etc.
While the access roads within the grounds leading to the icicle formations have been cleared of snow, the area where the Mitsuzuchi icicles are located is a riverbed with low temperatures and many stones, making it extremely slippery. Please be sure to dress appropriately (wearing appropriate clothing and shoes) and pay close attention to your footing. Please refrain from crossing the river, throwing stones, or engaging in any other dangerous activities.
