    The "ice curtain" where the groundwater boils and freezes from the terrace slope opposite the platform of "Senjojiki Station" (Fukaura Town, Aomori Prefecture) on the JR Gono Line is in full bloom.

    The Gono Line runs along the Sea of Japan in Aomori Prefecture, connecting Kawabe Station (Inakadate Village, Minamitsugaru District) and Higashi Noshiro Station (Noshiro City, Akita Prefecture). Senjojiki Station is an unmanned station, and the coast "Senjojiki" belonging to Tsugaru Quasi-National Park spreads nearby.

    The ice curtain is a winter tradition in which groundwater freezes on a rock surface that is 20 meters high and 100 meters wide. It freezes from mid-January to February every year, but this year the best time to see it was already in early January due to the continuous strong cold waves where the maximum temperature was below freezing.

    A person in charge of the Tourism Division of Fukaura Town Hall said, "Currently, the rock surface is still visible with about 80% of the freezing condition. The cold weather has a great effect on the freezing, and the best time to see it will continue. Pay attention to the weather and road conditions, Fukaura Please come visit us. "
