Otaru Snow Light Path Festival: a handmade and heartfelt event

[Main Part (sequel to the previous post)]

Now I started to view the Otaru Snow Light Path Festival, which was one of the main purposes in this trip.

There were three venues for the event – (1) Canal Kaijo area, (2) Temiyasen Kaijo area , (3) Asari River Hot Spring Kaijo area. This time, I visited the Canal Kaijo area and the Temiyasen Kaijo area.

First, the Canal Kaijo area.

There were a variety of snow works.

Night view of Otaru Canal.

Heart-shaped works

Maple leaf

View from Central Bridge (Chuo Bashi).

Then, I moved to another venue, the Temiyasen Kaijo area.

Snow mountain with art works

I felt the warmth of the event.

Snowmen couple.

They are in love with each other, aren’t they?

Japanese traditional art works.

Ball.

Heart.

Probably, owl?

Again, heart-shaped works.

[Closing]

So, that’s it for the article about the first day of the four-day three-night trip to Otaru and Sapporo. If you are interested in snow events in Japan and would prefer more heartfelt atomosphere, I would recommend the Otaru Snow Light Path Festival 🙂
