About Sapporo Snow Festival 2027

Giant snow sculptures rise along a long park corridor, carved over weeks by teams working through freezing nights to have everything ready for opening day. Illuminated ice statues glow after dark, and food stalls sell hot ramen and grilled seafood to crowds bundled against the cold. Locals and visitors wander the same route, comparing carvings and taking photos before the sculptures begin to melt or crack. Early February brings the coldest, driest air of the season, which keeps the ice sharp and the snow crisp underfoot.

Where to stay nearby

Sapporo itself is the obvious and only real base for the snow festival, with the park corridor running right through the heart of the city. Staying centrally means you can walk the sculpture route more than once, by day and by night, without worrying about onward transport in the cold.

Sapporo — about 1 km away

Sapporo puts you within walking distance of Odori Park itself, with the widest choice of hotels and easy access on foot or by the city's subway and tram network regardless of weather.
