If you were to ask me, "What would you chill in the winter? If you ask me, I would answer the lake without hesitation. The reason for this can be found in the "time by the lake".

If you want to chill in the summer, you should go to the ocean, but what about chill time in the winter? I would like to answer, "At the lake.

You can understand the feeling when you go to the "Lakeside Hours" held on the shores of Lake Shirakaba.

The atmosphere of "Time by the Lake" is somehow different from that of an ordinary music festival. The reason for this is the "blank space" that has been purposely created.

Live artists will perform from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm. The time between the two stages is relaxed, and there is no summer festival-like busyness.

In your free time, you can enjoy shisha, outdoor sauna, birch workshops, and other chill content that is different from what you would find at a beach house.

For those who want to be a little more active, canoes across the lake and e-bikes for a round-the-lake tour of the Yatsugatake Mountains are also available.

More than the activities and music, the serenity of the lake will surely win your heart.

The event will be held November 13-14. Tickets are still available.

You will discover a different side of winter chill than the comfort of warming up at home in the winter.
