Sapporo Snow Festival
The Sapporo Snow Festival, the biggest winter event in Sapporo, began on 7th Feb 2005 up to 13th Feb, 2005.
This festival is dated back to 1950. Then current, students of local junior schools and high schools built 6 big miniature models made from snow on high street in the city.
Since then, building such models became favourite event for citizens in Sapporo in Hokkaido and also one of big attractions across Japan in Winter.
This year is the 56th Festival.
During this period, you can see over 100 snow models varied from small crab of ice to big scale castle of ice.
In Winter, the temperature in Sapporo usually remains less than zero but this festival surely can make you warm.
