Tokamachi Snow Festival
Held every mid-February in Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, this is one of the largest snow festivals in the region, first launched in 1950 under the theme “Be friends with snow, enjoy the snow.”
It feels even more magical once the lights come on at night. The whole town gets in on it.
Watching the snow sculptures while eating hot food is pure happiness. Yes, it’s definitely cold, but the vibe is so good it really feels worth coming at least once.
