The Sapporo Snow Festival

The snow festival in Sapporo, known in Japan as the Yuki Matsuri (雪 祭り), is held each year in the northern capital. It lasts six days. It is one of the most exciting winter events. These days, the city is full of snow and ice figures, many wink satirically at current social reality, in the way that Las Fallas do in Valencia. There are also many cultural and recreational activities. The dates change every year, but it is usually in February. I recommend that if you are really interested in coming to the festival, visit the official website to book your flight and your hotel in time.
