Origen e historia

Started in 1999, the Snow Light Path is run largely by volunteers who hand-place thousands of candles each evening, giving the port town a gentle winter glow.

Bueno saber

Held in mid-February, it often overlaps the Sapporo Snow Festival — easy to combine on a short Hokkaido trip. Dress for deep cold.
