What is the Sapporo Snow Festival?
The Sapporo Snow Festival is a winter event and festival that represents Hokkaido, which began in 1950 when local students erected six snow sculptures in Odori Park.
In 1983, the Susukino venue opened with its beautiful neon-lit ice sculptures, and in 2013 projection mapping was introduced as a popular program.
At the 74th event held last year, the Tsudome venue was reopened for the first time in four years, and food and drink booths were set up for the first time in four years, allowing visitors to enjoy gourmet food while admiring the snow sculptures. Approximately 2.38 million tourists from Japan and abroad gathered for the event, making it one of Hokkaido 's largest events and a huge success.
Snow Festival Venue and How to Enjoy It
Odori Venue: Tuesday, Feb. 4th, 2025 to Tuesday, February 11th (National Holiday) (Itinerary)
The main venue where you can enjoy the iconic large snow sculptures
In addition to the large snow sculptures that you should see at least once, small and medium-sized snow sculptures and snow sculptures made by local residents Itinerary also be on display. You will definitely be overwhelmed by the power of the large snow sculptures during daylight hours! If Accommodation at a hotel within walking distance of the main venue, you can enjoy it leisurely in the morning when there are fewer people around.
Susukino Venue
The atmosphere is different from the main venue, and various ice sculptures are lined up under the theme of "enjoying and touching ice." We recommend visiting Susukino at night when it is lit up. The lights of Hokkaido 's largest neon town shine brightly, and the contrast between the sparkle of the ice and the night creates a beautiful and fantastical world.
The lights at the Susukino venue are usually turned off at 23:00. (They are Itinerary to be turned off at 22:00 on the final day, Tuesday, Feb. 11th (national holiday).)

Projection mapping onto snow sculptures
The main venue is also lit up at night.
The much talked about projection mapping, in which images are projected onto illuminated snow sculptures, has been held since 2013 and is Itinerary to take place again this year in the evenings during the period.
We also recommend a visit to the Sapporo TV Tower, a symbol of Sapporo, where you can see a fantastic illuminated view.
During this season, the sun sets between 4:30 and 5:00 p.m., so be sure to time your visit accordingly to enjoy the spectacular night view.
You can easily get to the Snow Festival venue without having to cross snowy roads!
The Sapporo Ekimae-dori Underground Pedestrian Walkway opened in Mar. 2011.
The area around Sapporo Station and the Odori and Susukino districts are now connected underground.
Now that it has opened in the snow-covered center of Sapporo, you can travel comfortably to the Odori venue.
