Sapporo White Illumination

さっぽろホワイトイルミネーション

The Sapporo White Illumination is an annual illumination event that takes place in various locations throughout Sapporo city, including Odori Park and Sapporo Station. First held in 1981, it has become one of Japan's most popular and well-regarded illumination events. The event takes place as the snow begins to fall in Sapporo, marking the start of the winter season. Visitors can enjoy the dreamy sight of Odori Park and other areas around the city, decorated with a wide variety of light installations and trees wrapped in twinkling fairy lights.
