One of the most famous festivals in Japan is the snow festival. Every winter Odori park in Sapporo is transformed into a magical wonderland of huge snow sculptures. The festival started in 1950 when some high school students decided to build some snow sculptures. Then the Self-Defense Force joined them and built some even bigger sculptures. Millions of people visit each year to enjoy the wonderful creativity of the snow festival.
Odori park is also the venue for another, perhaps less well known festival. Each summer the beer festival is held in Odori park. All the famous beer companies in Japan take a different square in the park. This festival is a truly fun experience where you can not only drink from tall beer towers but also enjoy delicious food from the many stalls that line the park. Thousands of people attend every day to enjoy the summer sun and all the beer you can drink.
Finally, perhaps one of the most relaxing and beautiful festivals is held all over Japan in the spring when the cherry blossom trees bloom. There’s nothing better than sitting under the cherry blossoms with some friends, drinking and eating in the lovely spring climate.
