Topics from the '25-26 season

Night activities start

The popular activities "Tube Park" and "Snowmobiling" will start operating at night this season.

At Night Snow Tubing, you'll be surrounded by colorful lights and music, and experience the thrill and excitement of sliding down a tube through a fantastical space of light and sound.

On the "Night Snow Cruising" tour, you can leisurely ride a snowmobile through the Hanazono forest illuminated by moonlight and the starry sky, and experience the mystical sights that can only be seen on the snowy mountains at night.

"HANAZONO Lantern Festival 2026" to be held

This popular event, which started last year and attracted many visitors, will be held again this year.
In the midst of the fantastic sight of lanterns dancing in the night sky and fireworks, you can also enjoy the experience of making your own lantern by drawing a wish or illustration.

The lantern-releasing ceremony is a traditional Taiwanese New Year ritual that is carried out with the hope of praying for good health and happiness. The fireworks that are launched at the same time are meant to ward off evil spirits and celebrate the beginning of the new year, creating a special moment that colors the winter night sky.
