Hi there! Sharing with you our fun experience in Asahikawa during their famous winter festival. Check out the rest of our Japan adventure here:    • JAPAN / 𝘏𝘖𝘒𝘒𝘈𝘐𝘋𝘖  

Experience the magic of Hokkaido at the Asahikawa Winter Festival, the second-largest snow event in the region! Join us on our first night in the city as we explore the stunning Asahikawa City Lights illumination and witness over 50 spectacular lit-up ice sculptures during the annual international competition. We’ll take you from the serene, cinematic views of Tokiwa Park to the massive snow stage at the Asahibashi Riverside area where we braved the giant ice slide and indulged in delicious winter street food like sizzling Wagyu beef, deep-fried takoyaki, and hot soup dumplings. From learning about the festival’s historic 1946 origins to a cozy nightcap inside a real igloo at the Asahikawa Harete Food Stall Village, this vlog is your ultimate guide to embracing the freezing temperatures and warm community spirit of Asahikawa in winter.
