  Sapporo White Illumination

This is a big event telling us the coming of beautiful snow season starting in 1981, romantic, artistic collaboration of nature and light after dark in the northern region, usually with the background of the white snow. Trees or objets d’art in Odori or main downtown areas light up the surroundings, making the snow-world even more mysterious and fascinating.
