Where to stay

Where to stay for Sapporo Snow Festival.

The festival runs at two sites in the centre of Sapporo: Odori Park, where the large snow sculptures stand from Nishi 1-chome to 11-chome, and Susukino, where the ice sculptures line Ekimae-dori. Both sites are evening places as much as daytime ones, and the Odori lighting runs until 22:00, so a central base turns the festival into a walk home rather than a journey.

The event

Sapporo Snow Festival runs Thu 04 to Thu 11 Feb 2027 at Odori Park and Susukino, Sapporo. Dates, the official source and the full listing are on the event page.

Which district

Odori and Susukino for the Snow Festival sites, the food and the nightlife; the station side for day trips to Otaru and the ski fields.
