The Otaru Snow Light Path is a representative winter event in Otaru, Hokkaido, that began in 1999. This festival is held mainly around the Otaru Canal and the former National Railway Temiya Line, which are popular with local residents and tourists, and countless snow candles and candles are set up. This transforms Otaru in winter into a special space where fantastic lights and historical streets blend together. The background to the creation of this event was not only to promote winter tourism, but also to the desire of local people to work together to revitalize the city. In particular, the scenery created by the historic buildings, cobblestone streets, and the warm light of the candles soothes the hearts of visitors and attracts the eyes of many photography enthusiasts. This event, supported by the power of local volunteers, is also a place where you can feel the warmth of Otaru citizens. During the event, there will be food stalls where you can enjoy local specialties and local gourmet food, so you can fully enjoy the charm of Otaru not only through the sights but also the tastes. In this way, the Otaru Snow Light Path is not just an illumination event, but also offers a special experience where you can experience the history and warmth of the region.
