The Sapporo Snow Festival is a long standing tradition in February. In Odori Park in the middle of town 100's of snow sculptures are created. For many people it is a highlight of their stay in Hokkaido so Sarah and I managed to get a day off together and with a hired car and a couple of friends made it over to Sapporo for a night. The sculptures were amazing. The creators had trouble as a day before the opening it rained and many were damaged. So a few last minute touch ups were required. The festival goes for about a week and there are many others like it around Hokkaido. A testament to how cold it is here in winter!
