After the luxurious Sapporo White Illumination ends, the Otaru Snow Light Path, a cozy event featuring lighting in the city of Otaru begins in cooperation with the Sapporo Snow Festival in February. It is a fantastic winter event with warm candle lights illuminating the nostalgic streets and canals of Otaru. As you experience the pensive feeling of a journey to the North during the coldest part of winter, each and every resident welcomes helps bring the local community closer, with local neighborhood associations and shopping districts participating with hand-made snow candles made of materials near at hand.
