Dreamy Winter Train Trip in Hokkaido | Snowy Otaru, Sapporo & Lake Shikotsu Ice Festival |

What this video shows

From the guide “Sapporo Snow Festival 2027: Dates, Three Venues and What to Check”: The Sapporo Snow Festival is scheduled for 4–11 February 2027 at three venues: Odori, Tsudome and Susukino. Admission to all three is free, but that does not mean that food, transport or every optional activity is free.

The guide goes on: “1. Compare the three Sapporo Snow Festival venues”. Each venue has a different role: Odori is the central park venue for snow sculptures, Susukino is known for ice sculptures, and Tsudome is presented as a family-oriented snow-play venue.

From the guide “Sapporo Winter Travel Guide: A Warm, Walkable Plan Between Snowy Stops”: For winter in Sapporo, plan both the outdoor experience and the warm pauses between stops.
