❄️ Lucky with the weather, light snow, and the itinerary coincided with the Snow Festival. ⛄ Odori Park's Snow Festival focuses on snow sculptures, while Susukino's features ice sculptures. Some are exquisite, while others, like Pikachu and Doraemon, are inexplicably ugly. Personally, if you have time, it's worth a visit, but not a must-see, as domestic ice sculptures are more impressive. 🍦 Hokkaido's ice cream is indeed delicious. I can't forget the cone I had at a roadside shop in Tanukikoji today. 🍱 Other places we dined at today: SAMA Sapporo Odori (Soup Curry) - Tasty, under 100 per person (1 set meal + 1 milkshake), worth trying. If you can't handle spicy food, choose a spice level below 5; a friend found level 6 too spicy. Umi no Yonkai (on the 6th floor) - Fresh seafood, mostly locals dining, no pictures or Chinese on the menu. Over 400 per person, not cheap. We were a group of four, ordering boiled hairy crab, sashimi, grilled Wagyu, pan-fried fish (unknown type), steamed egg, and sake. We were about 70% full, and everyone praised the flavors. An izakaya near Susukino, a small two-story shop with red decor. Fresh ingredients, quite good. #Hokkaido #Sapporo #HokkaidoTravel

Hokkaido's top three winter festivals, the Sapporo Snow Festival, Otaru Snow Light Path, and Asahikawa Winter Festival, attract over 2 million visitors annually. Why not join your friends and family for a romantic snowy adventure? - **Sapporo Snow Festival**: This festival began in 1950 when local students built six snow sculptures in Odori Park. It has since evolved into a grand event featuring snowball fights and snow sculpture exhibitions, drawing 50,000 attendees in its first year. The Sapporo Snow Festival is not only Japan's most famous winter celebration but also one of the world's top three snow festivals, with 2.73 million visitors in 2019.

Crafted by Otaru residents, it celebrates its 26th edition in 2024. The main venues are the Otaru Canal and the Temiya Line ruins, where historic streets are bathed in warm yellow snow lights, reminiscent of bygone days. Floating glass lanterns on the canal resemble stars and galaxies in the night sky.

The main venue at Asahibashi offers ice slides, snowmobiles, hot food, concerts, and dance performances.
