he largest city on Japan’s northern island, Sapporo is most well-known for hosting the 1972 Winter Olympics, the first time the event had been held in Asia. But that’s not all it’s famous for!
One of the highlights of exploring Japan in winter is taking part in Sapporo’s Yuki Matsuri, the internationally renown snow festival. Taking place each February, the Sapporo Snow Festival includes an ice festival and a small ‘theme park’ which includes a snow maze and snow slides.
