Greetings everybody, me aka NomnomNoodle is back for the third post about my trip in Hokkaido that I went in February. So far, it's been very welcoming from all of you in this community to read and comment about my last 2 posts and that encourages me so much to keep blogging and letting us getting to know each other more bit by bit.
One fact about me #3 is that I like snow but I hate the cold. Well, actually I guess it's all the same about everybody, but you know, coming from a very hot country all year long, I am always love to see, feel and most of all experience it. Frankly most of the experience with snow, I love it. Unfortunately not so much this time in the ice pavilion and in this post I'm gonna tell you why.
The place is called "Kamikawa ice pavilion" located in Furano. This is how it looks from the outside. Like I said it was a snowy all day long but we want more snow, so we went inside.
The ice pavilion is another famous tourist spot in Furano, where people come to see, feel and learn about the cold.
As we about to go inside, the owner came up to welcome us and tell us what we will be seeing inside. He said that all-year round he kept the temperature inside the same. The most famous room is the one that always stay -41 (Celcius) degree.
He gave us a wet towel before we go in to prove that it is indeed very cold and our towel will get frozen in the shapes we made. Great and pretty concrete idea, I'd say.
We went inside and holy bits it's freezing haha
Here you can see the jeans are standing (almost) on its own because it's very cold in there.
They have spots to takes pictures with the ice sculptures, I unfortunately didn't take much photos inside because it was so cold I couldn't take my hand out for long. These are the presentable one, that I didn't shake too much.
Another thing that they showed is the Clione which is an kinda jellyfish-like animal that only survives in the cold place. Somehow Clione is called "sea butterfly" in Japanese. They're really small and too small for my camera to take pictures of it. But if you get to go there, should check it out. It's like a super tiny jellyfish in a very very cold fish tank.
After all the cold zone, the souvenir zone is nice and warm. We can buy hot potatoes and tea to help warm us up.
My favorite zone of the souvenir is the board where people put their photos on their take in the -41 cold room. Yeah... some is a little revealing (?) but it's funny to see how people challenge themselves.
We went outside and the sun almost gone. The owner came back and let us write our wish on a stick that we can throw in the fire to make it come true. I mean why not right? It's definitely keeps me warm for now and my wish comes true in the future.
I wish I could upload a short clip that we throw this into the fire but I couldn't just yet, but I'll try to figure it out. Anyway, outside they have the ice slider that you can sleigh down and it was really fun. It was kinda like a ride in a theme park but a bit smaller.
So that would be for the post today about going in a cold place in a cold day. I promise next time, I'll tell you guys about warmer stuff like our cozy hotel, food and ...(pause for anticipation) you find out next time.
Khob kun ka Everybody!
