Sapporo Snow Festival Museum

15 Best Places to Travel in February

"The Sapporo Snow Festival (Feb. 4-11) is probably the biggest event in Hokkaido during the winter," said A-List Advisor Rebecca Mazzaro. She added: "I highly recommend travelers go for the spectacular snow sculptures and unbelievably detailed art. There's also an incredible food scene with countless food stands where visitors can find outstanding ramen, other specialties, and hot beverages. Sports activities like curling and snow slides as well as music concerts, comedy performances, and nighttime light projections on the sculptures are part of the festival." - Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty Patricia Doherty is a writer who specializes in covering destinations, resorts, and cruises for Travel + Leisure and other publications.
