The “Sapporo Snow Festival” is a big topic every time as a big winter event in Sapporo. The world colored by snow and ice is very romantic♡ It started in 1950 when local junior high and high school students installed snow sculptures in Odori Park. This event, which has continued for over 70 years, has grown in scale year by year, and has a lot of content that you can enjoy, such as giant snow sculptures, fantastic ice sculptures, and snow attractions.

The Sapporo Snow Festival is held every year for about a week in early February. There are currently three venues: the Odori Site, the Susukino Site, and the Tsudome Site. The Odori venue and the Susukino venue are about a 5-minute walk away, and the three venues can be reached by shuttle bus.

If you're going to the Sapporo Snow Festival alone, you'll want to choose a hotel that emphasizes the atmosphere. Around Odori Park, which is the main venue, and around Sapporo Station, which is convenient for access, there are many wonderful hotels that are perfect for couples.
