How about Dining in an Igloo in Japan?
This Pop-Up Japanese Eatery Is Made Entirely out of Snow!
Pirates, this dining experience looks awesome (worth-traveling-for awesome)! Kamakura Village in Japan's Nagano prefecture has used its snowy landscape to create private Igloo-shaped huts for diners.
They pop up every winter, so, if you're planning a trip to Japan, put them on your bucket list.

The pop-up eatery serves guests lunch and dinner in 20 private snow huts. Every winter these little huts are rebuilt. As you can see in the image below, there's a miniature hut close to each bigger one. These are lit up at night and look just stunning in the dark.
Order the signature dish when you're there! A centuries-old hot pot made from Shinshu Miso, Miyuki Pork, and locally grown mushrooms and vegetables.
Not only the dining experience is great here. If you go, try the sledging. You can go on a snow mobile, too.
