1. The first bit: Snow in Okazaki.
Once every 5 to 10 years, we get a fairly cold winter in Okazaki, and the snow which is usually just a few hours away in the mountains comes down. We had a couple of centimeters of snow last week on Saturday - didn't last long, but it was enough to make Okazaki look....well, white, and enough to make a few snowmen, throw a few snowballs, you know, the usual thing. Shirokawa-go looked fantastic (see the Japan Guide below) but then it was designed to deal with the snow... and they get meters of it all the time anyway so they probably weren't very surprised. See the Photo section of the Student Network for the full list of photos.

There are still some places available on the Discovery Tour from April 6th - anyone interested please check the course information section below for details and contact admissions@yamasa.org for details of how to enrol.
