Yuki Matsuri

We went to Hokkaido again (northern island of Japan) for the Yuki Matsuri.  It’s the once a year snow festival with snow sculptures, snow activities, ice sculptures etc.  We also saw a snowboarding competition and was snowed on constantly.  I think the lowest temperature that we felt was -12C  (10.4 F).

Some of the snow sculptures were sponsored by other countries.  This one was created by Korea.  They definitely spent time and money on this one.

More sculptures

There was an interesting section of smaller sculptures.  We like the cartoon ones the best.

Getting snowed on…

Sapporo tower is in the background.

Some ice sculptures had fish and crab frozen in them.

“Gundum in Odaiba”.  We saw the non-ice version in Odaiba also!

Lastly we rode the Pokemon painted ANA 777 back to Tokyo.  Crazy huh?
