Sapporo Snow Festival is divided into 3 sites: Odori Site, Susukino Site and Tsu Dome Site.
The Odori Site takes the main part of the festival which is held in the 1.5km long main street of Sapporo city. There will be over 100 snow/ice made sculptures including over 10 m tall large scale ones. Along the street, there will be shops and food/beverage stalls, light-up of the sculptures at night and an ice skate rink in front of the Sapporo Tower.
Susukino Site, is located in Hokkaido’s biggest red-light district Susukino area. There will be a number of ice made sculptures where visitors can enjoy the fine curving art of ice blocks along the street.
The 73rd Sapporo Snow Festival will be held only at Odori Site and Susukino Site from 4th to 11th February in 2023.
(NOTE: The Tsu Dome Site will close in Sapporo Snow Festival 2023.)
The Tsu Dome Site is located a bit off the central area yet it’s a great place to play with snow attractions such as snow slope, snow maze and making snowman. Tsu Dome Site opens 5 days earlier than other sites.
