Nighttime @ Sapporo Snow Festival

Fantastic snow at night.

There are a large number of splendid snow statues in Odori Park.

Some snow statues are made by the local volunteers.

The big snow statues "Taj Mahal".

"Tsuruga Castle" was made for the Fukushima people who suffered serious damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Um...so big!

Mini concert.

Oh?

From Japanese popular animation "Toriko" and "One Piece".

There was even a special corner.

The 39th International snow statues contest.
16 teams from many parts of the world participated.
It's so interesting that some teams came from the country without snow.

Actually, there are many stands.

I got the baked corn.
So yummy♪
