Today I explore “64th Asahikawa Winter Festival”, one of biggest event in this city.
And it’s not only winter festival but also “2023 world ice sculpture competition”.
So we can see many high quarity ice sculptures and snow sculptures what professionals made.
I introduce all of them with walking illuminate city center.
In the latter half I arrived to the winter festival venue.
There you can enjoy also very long snow slide, food tracks, stalls, and dance show.
In the end I show you the finale projection mapping on huge snowman face.
Enjoy your walk!

Thank you for taking the time to film and post this. So many fun things to see. The ice, and snow, sculptures are truly amazing! The candle walk was beautiful. And I can see my son going over and over on the big snow slide. Many, many things to see. I know now what you meant when you said the city gets dressed up for the festival!
