Hi, I’m Mio! Today, I want to tell you about the Sapporo Snow Festival in Sapporo, Hokkaido. This festival is a major winter event that attracts many tourists from all over the world every February.
What is the Sapporo Snow Festival?
The Sapporo Snow Festival started in 1950 and is held at three main sites: Odori Park, Susukino, and Tsudome. The main site, Odori Park, features large snow and ice sculptures that are truly impressive in their beauty and size. These sculptures are made by local companies, organizations, and even international teams, showcasing a wide variety of creativity and styles.
Mio’s Experience at the Sapporo Snow Festival
When I first visited the Sapporo Snow Festival, I was amazed by the stunning snow and ice artworks. At night, the sculptures are lit up, creating a magical atmosphere. Walking around with my friends, admiring the different sculptures, was a lot of fun.
At the Tsudome site, there are snow activities for everyone, from kids to adults. You can try out the big snow slides and snow rafting, which are thrilling experiences. It was so much fun that I forgot about the cold and fully enjoyed the winter in Hokkaido.
Conclusion
The Sapporo Snow Festival is not only about admiring beautiful snow and ice sculptures but also about experiencing the best of Hokkaido’s winter. I hope you can visit and enjoy the amazing festival yourself. See you at the next festival adventure!
