Chichibu Winter: Snow Scenery and Frozen Waterfalls

The Serenity of Winter Chichibu

In winter, the Chichibu mountains are covered in snow and wrapped in silence. Chichibu Shrine, Mitsumine Shrine, and Nagatoro's rock ledges show completely different winter faces. Visiting shrines and temples in snow is a special experience enveloped in mysterious atmosphere.

Frozen Waterfall: Fudo Otaki

The "Fudo Otaki" waterfall in Chichibu City freezes in winter into an ice formation called "hyobaku." The fantastical sight of ice walls is winter-only scenery attracting photography and hiking enthusiasts.

Chichibu Muse Park Night View

Chichibu Muse Park overlooks the Chichibu basin, and at night the cityscape nightscape spreads beautifully. Night views in winter's clear air are especially beautiful, popular as a night view spot.
