Otaru Snow Light Path Festival, Hokkaido
The Otaru Snow Light Path is a stunning winter highlight of the port town Otaru. The entire downtown area is adorned with countless snow lanterns, twinkling like stars. The main venue spans Otaru Canal and the Old JNR Teppu Line, where the town’s history as a gateway during Hokkaido’s pioneering era is still preserved to this day. Glass fishing floats lit with candles drift gently on the canal’s surface, making it a perfect spot for photography.
The Teppu Line venue, featuring ice candles and a snow slide, is home to many international volunteers, serving as a vibrant hub for travelers to connect and interact. To let visitors savor Otaru’s culinary delights, food discount coupons are available during the festival.
