While impatient early spring is knocking on our windows, Sapporo is actively preparing for the famous local holiday.

The Sapporo Snow Festival is an event that attracts people not only from Japan, but from all over the world. This holiday takes place here in the month of February, this year it is the 5th-11th. Up to two million tourists from all over the world come to see this event every year.

This tradition began back in 1950, quite by accident. One day, in honor of one of the children's matinees that took place at a local school, high school students decided to build unusual snow figures in the city park in honor of this. Since that time, this "action" has become more and more popular, and now it has completely turned into one of the favorite traditions of Sapporo.

It became known in the world only since 1972, after the eleventh Winter Olympic Games were held there. And already in 1974, in honor of this holiday, they began to organize a separate International competition for those very snow sculptures.

Besides the fact that you can admire the incredible sculptures made by the best craftsmen from all over the world, there are many other interesting things waiting for you here. Attractions, concerts, and various kinds of performances are what awaits everyone who comes to Sapporo at this time. But anyway, the main attention here is still attracted by snow products.

Once you get here, you feel like a little man who finds himself in a magical ice city.

And this is no exaggeration, because some of the sculptures actually don't compromise their size on an ordinary apartment building. You can only imagine what a wonderful sight it is.

All these sculptures are located on four blocks of the main street. This composition looks very beautiful in the evening, when the products begin to light up.

This festival is from the list of those that will be equally interesting for both children and adults. It is important to know that, as during other Japanese holidays, in honor of this event, many different shops with hot and delicious local delicacies can be found on the streets of the city.

And since the snow that falls in winter in Sapporo is enough not only for sculptures, but also for other things, you can have a good time here for those who like active recreation.
