Visit 4 Snow Festivals!

• Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival — Also known as the “Ice Museum,” walk into and between surreal, translucent ice mounds made from Lake Shikotsu’s ultra-clear water. As night falls, the ice glows in brilliant hues, creating a magical experience.
• Sapporo Snow Festival — Attracting millions of visitors each year, this world-famous event transforms Sapporo into a snowy wonderland featuring massive snow and ice sculptures. The festival is held across three main sites: Odori Park, Susukino, and Tsudome (Sapporo Community Dome).
• Asahikawa Winter Festival — Known for showcasing one of the world’s largest snow sculptures, this annual festival features stunning nighttime illuminations and outdoor activities, such as ice slides and snowmobiles.
• Otaru Snow Light Path Festival — Otaru Canal is transformed into a floating sea of flickering lights by glass-blown candles. You can also see snow sculptures bathed in the warm glow of candlelight along Former Temiya Railway, and various light displays all over the area.
