What a beauty, a great festival!!! Well done Sarah, thanks for the report!!!😁
Sarahさんこんばんは！
雪まつり何年も行けてなかったので有り難かったです😆しかし、寒そーでしたね🥶雪まつりの作品も圧巻ですが、氷の彫刻は見惚れてしまうほど、素晴らしいクオリティーですね✨ちなみに私は行った際には必ずナンとカレーの屋台に行って居ましたがまだ、やっていらっしゃるのかなー🤔来年、確認も兼ねて行ってみますね！
[ Like ] 🙂
The light snowfall was so nice to see. Also, the temperatures didn’t seem that cold if you dressed appropriately. Double digit minus weather would have been much harder to film in. Excited to see the rest of the series. I never consider traveling to another cold weather destination for vacation however, maybe once in my life I would like to see Sapporo or Harbin in the winter.
Moai snow statues? I love it 😂 🗿🗿
Sarah as always a great vlog 😊
Looks like u had fun
Hey, I was there!!! Ordered that Amazake twice on separate days.. 300 yen a cup.. Needed that one to warm up. There are also free 2 cans of Asahi beer per day, one with an open top can, that needs lining up.. Nice to bounce around with those creepy things with blinking eyes near the TV Tower…
She is red.
This is such a cool video. Japan has some beautiful snow around where it snows in the country of Japan. Hope you had a good Valentine's day week Sarah.
so cool! i wanna come back to snow festival again…. hope you had some good miso ramen! 🥺😆
Yay! The dancing Sarah intro is back!
Great video as always! I was fortunate to been able to see the festival when I was in Japan last year. It's nice to see the new sculptures from this year! Especially Golden Kamuy.😂
Worth a trip!
🤩💙💖
Nice vlog.
Cure for depression : watch Tokyo Foodie Sarah
We did Sapporo and Hakodate in November. My body just cannot handle the constant air conditioning in cold cities, and got a sinus infection. Doing the Snow Festival is just never going to happen for me, unless I do it in a day without going in any buildings.
At night, there was projection mapping onto the snow train station. Lovely narrative animation. Northern Alena, who lives in Sapporo, has a video.
