Lake Towada Snow Festival

Lake Towada (about 1-1 1/2 hours drive from us) had a snow festival as well.  It had less snow sculptures but one giant one.  It also had an amazing scenic view of the lake partially frozen over.  We also went to see the 'famous' maiden statues, a temple, and the swans on the lake.  There was a ferry that was available to ride around the lake on, but since our family is still traumatized from the Iceland ferry even (I'll post later about it) we decided to skip it.   
While this sculpture is huge, it's nothing compared to what Mr. B and Boo saw in Sapporo!
