Each year, Sapporo is the capital of snow. Enormous statues and replicas of buildings are copied - in snow.
The festival is actually held in three sites around the city of Sapporo, each of which has its special character. Apart from the famous Sapporo festival, there are other smaller and less known festivals around the island. The Makomanai site is designed mainly for family visitors, to entertain kids, but also has some huge snow structures; the most notable of which was the Buda Castle. By far the largest site is Odori, where almost endless rows of snow statues and buildings can be seen, some similar to each other, some very original. Here also some large buildings could be seen, even details carved meticulously into the snow.
