The Sapporo Snow Festival is the one of Japan's largest winter event.
The festival attracts a growing number of visitors from Japan and abroad
every year. Every winter, about two million people come to Sapporo to
see the hundreds of beautiful snow statues and ice sculptures which line
Odori Park, the grounds at Community Dome Tsudome, and the main street
in Susukino. For seven days in February, these statues and sculptures
turn Sapporo into a winter dreamland of crystal-like ice and white snow.
