Sapporo Snow Festival
The Sapporo Snow Festival, one of Japan's largest winter
events, attracts a growing number of visitors from Japan and abroad every
year. Every winter, about two million people come to Sapporo in Hokkaido
to see a large number of splendid snow and ice sculptures lining Odori
Park, the grounds at Community Dome Tsudome, and along the main street
in Susukino.
For seven days in February, Sapporo is turned into a winter dreamland
of crystal-like ice and white snow.
