1. About the Misotsuchi of Icicles

In Japanese, it is called “Misotsuchi -no- Tsurara”, the huge icicles in Chichibu winter season. If you keep going west from the Chichibu city, little by little the view of landscape around yourself is changing and you arrive at much deeper spot. The icicle landscape is located between two camping ground so if you do camping here in winter season, although it is really cold weather, what you will feel there must go over it.

There are other icicles spots, but only Misotsuchi’s one is natural icicles on the other hand other spots are artificial. 

Some parts of icicles in Misotsuchi are artificials, but the natural ones can be made only here!
