BEAUTIFUL Otaru Snow Light Path Festival - Hokkaido, Japan

The Otaru Snow Light Path Festival was the highlight of my Hokkaido trip! Magical, enchanting and beautiful ice lamps along the canal in the snow.

The Snow Light Path Festival takes place at the start of February in Otaru, a town on the coast in Hokkaido, Japan. It's only 30 minutes from Sapporo by train, so you can easily go on a day trip from Sapporo. There are 3 sites: the town centre, Asarigawa Hot Springs and Tenguyama, which is up a mountain ropeway. We went to the town centre site, which has two main areas: along the canal with the warehouses and the Temiyasen former railway line. It starts at about 5:30pm as it gets dark, with illuminations until 9pm. There's an amazing variety of snow lamps and displays. It's so creative and magical! It lasts for 10 days and overlaps with the Sapporo Snow Festival, so you can visit them both in the same trip. In 2020, the Otaru snow light festival will be on 8-16 February 2020.
