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.
