There are so many ways to experience Japan’s winter and one thing you can’t miss is the Sapporo Snow Festival. First started in 1950 with just six snow sculptures made by local middle and high school students, the festival has since grown to become Japan’s largest winter festival, attracting millions of visitors every year.

Now in its 66th year, the festival features spectacular giant ice sculptures lining Odori Park, the grounds at Tsudome, and the main street in Susukino. Not only that, visitors can also enjoy exciting winter activities like ice skating, ski-walking, tube sliding and snow rafting. If you’re too old for such activities, you can simply relax and feast on Hokkaido’s local cuisine. Now plan your winter holiday and experience Japan’s No. 1 winter festival from February 5 to 11, 2015. Let’s take a look at last year’s festival with this video.
