Winter Thrills in Atsuma!

January 25,2025 OA

This week, we're heading to Atsuma Town, where winter excitement is in full swing! Li Qiang and Yurie take on the exhibition match of the Atsuma International Snow Tug-of-War Tournament, an intense and strategic winter sport held on January 26, 2025. Will teamwork and determination be enough to secure victory?
After working up an appetite, they stop by a renovated farmhouse-turned-hamburger restaurant, where guests can grill their patties to perfection on a sizzling iron plate. With a variety of sauces to choose from, making a decision is the hardest part!
The adventure continues at a local leather craft shop, run by a skilled artisan from Atsuma. The incredible quality of the handcrafted goods leaves them in awe—and the surprisingly reasonable prices make it impossible not to take home a souvenir!
Atsuma in winter? Absolutely worth the trip!
