Otaru Snow Light Path Festival

Otaru (小樽) was once a busy port city which served both domestic and international trade, and, built in 1880, the first railway (the Temiya line) in Hokkaido ran from Otaru to Sapporo.  In 1923, the Otaru Canal (小樽運河) was finished, and smaller ships ferried goods from large ships at sea to the warehouses along the canal.  The trade from Otaru spurred the growth of industry in Hokaido.  In the 1980s, Otaru citizens petitioned the city to save the canal, and the city developed Otaru Canal as a tourist attraction with old warehouses converted into shops and restaurants.

In 1999, Otaru began hosting the Otaru Snow Light Path Festival (小樽雪あかりの路), which is centered around the historic Otaru Canal.

Snow lights that warmed my heart. I was moved to tears when I found out that the Otaru Snow Light Path Festival (小樽雪あかりの路, Otaru Yuki Akari no Michi) is a joint effort of the people of Otaru. We asked why they do this every year and the answer was simple, "Because it makes people happy." The snow statues are made everyday and kept lighted all night, thanks to volunteers. _ The Otaru Snow Light Path Festival is a winter festival held every February in Otaru, Hokkaido, during which the city becomes decorated in lights and small snow statues for ten days. The festival runs at the same time as Sapporo Snow Festival. _ February 2017 | Otaru, Hokkaido . _ #ciJAPAN2017 #ChrisIvyTravels #japan #winterinjapan #wintertime #ibyang #otaru #otaruwinterfestival #hokkaido #wanderlust #travel #japantravel #otarusnowlightpathfestival #snowfestival (at Otaru Canal, Hokkaido, Japan)
