Hokkaido – Northern part of Japan
The city gets heavy snow fall in the winter when compared to other places in Japan and is famous for Snow, Sea Food, Snow Festival.
A Special thing about Hokkaido is powder snow, It attracts most of the people those who love Snow, Skiing and Snow Boarding.
You can eat fresh Sushi, Sashimi(Raw Fish), Crab, Scallop etc, Very popular foods are Sea Food Soba(kind of Noodle), Soup curry Rice , Miso Soup Ramen(Kind of Noodle)
Those who don’t do sports activities don’t worry, you can visit other places.
Day 1: Clock Tower, TV Tower, Sapporo Snow Festival and Susukino Site (Ice Festival)
Clock Tower - It is a tourists Iconic place, very old western style building which is one among the few.
Snow Festival happens each year in the month of February.
The Snow Festival took place in Odori Park, Sapporo. It takes 10 mins walk from JR Sapporo Station to reach this place. you can see the panoramic view of the venue from Sapporo TV Tower.
Snow Festival – Sculptors from different countries engaged themselves and made big snow sculptures. Some sculptures are good at night view.
The most popular one in the snow festival is "Snow Star Wars".
Since it was my first trip I was having lot of questions in my mind,
is it Snow and Ice festival are same? or different? , But now I can say
it is different.
The city gets heavy snow fall in the winter when compared to other places in Japan and is famous for Snow, Sea Food, Snow Festival.
Let me share about my Hokkaido Experience.
I planned for a three day trip in which I covered two places Sapporo and Otaru.
The main reason for my winter trip was to see the snow festival and enjoy the food. When one talks about snow in Hokkaido without second thought He or She will talk about Sea food specially Russian Crabs.
