Welcome to winter in Hokkaido. Come along, journey with us to the far north of Japan, a land of snow!

 

For seven days, every February Sapporo is turned into a winter dreamland of crystal-like ice and white snow.

 

The Sapporo Snow Festival, one of Japan’s largest winter events attracts nearly two million visitors who come to see the many snow and ice sculptures along Odori Park and on Susukino’s main street. They include an array of intricate ice carvings as well as massive snow sculptures that are bigger than some of the city buildings.

 

On this Hokkaido Winter Festivals Tour #2, we welcome in the 74th Sapporo Snow Festival, but this is only the beginning as we will be visiting a total of 5 festivals. In additional to the Sapporo Snow Festival, we have the Susukino Ice Sculptures, Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival, Asahikawa Snow Festival, and the Tomamu Ice Village Festival.  

 

And yet there is more, beginning with 3 nights at Sapporo’s finest hotel, Century Royal Hotel, another in the historic harbor city of Otaru and yet, another at one of Hokkaido’s finest ski resorts, Hoshino Resort Tomamu.

 

For activities and sightseeing, we have included the Penguin Walk at the Asahiyama Zoo, sake brewery visit, Nikka Whisky, Sunagawa Highway Oasis for the very best omiyage shopping under one roof, Biei Blue Pond, Terrace of Frost Tree, a gondola ride, and so much more!
