2023 Snow Light Path

  2023 Snow Light Path  

Otaru's famous winter festival, Snow Light Path, was held this year from

 Feb. 11 to Feb. 18. It's been 3 years since it was held in its usual form, and according to Hokkaido Simbun (newspaper), we had over 252,000 visitors!

Here are a bunch of pics taken at the various sites on various days.
