Bandai Japan has just announced that they will be bringing Tamagotchi to the Sapporo Snow Festival, and there’ a lot to be excited about!

There is no 23 in the Goshuin Summer event, so instead we skip on over to Kyoto to Yasaka Shrine. This entire region is based upon the actual Kyoto, Japan, and this Shrine is based upon the first life Yasaka Jinja in Kyoto. As they should be, other shrines, large and small, are also scattered across the city- and two of them are also offering goshuin for the summer. While they are not on the official list, there are posters at the desk that provide notice.

If you exit back out the large gate to Yasaka Shrine and turn left, pass the store next to the Shrine and turn left again to head behind the restaurant, you will find a little Inari Shrine.

And on the other side of the sim, across the large central river, you can find Kitano Tenmangu Shrine, also inspired by the real life Shrine of the same name in Kyoto. The central river is hosting a festival for Tanabata, the summer festival to the stars Vega and Altair, the literal star-crossed lovers Orihime and Hikoboshi, who are separated by the celestial river of the Milky Way, destined to only meet once a year. A boat floats on the river, and bamboo with wishes and decorations lines the river, as well as the festival booths and lanterns. (Depending on the route you walk, you may find a second celebration of Tanabata as well on your way.) The geisha who make this region their home also hold entertainment events, schedules are posted multiple places around the sim.

After warming up, we're back out at Ramen Alley for some famous Sapporo miso ramen! Every shop has their own spin, be prepared to wait more than an hour for the popular ones!

Short line for this place - roasted miso ramen, only 6 seats!

Chuuya, that beam overhead...

Susukino ice festival! This is the Ainu culture, the original indigenous folk of northern Japan and Hokkaido!

Chuuuya, do you think freezing in ice would be...?

I'm going to fucking leave you behind if you don't shut up.

Hokkaido's icon, the 'snow fairy,' shima-enaga.

And what place is this, Chuuuya?

An ice cream speakeasy 😏

And how does it work?

Ya see those vials behind me? Each one holds a different (strong) alcohol. Including some exceptionally rare and popular ones...

You finish the top of your milk ice cream, place your spoon like so, and top it with a miniature ladle of liquor. It brings to mind the experience of imbibing in absinthe, poured over a sugar cube - which is also one of our selection.

It's a secret ice cream place, only for adults...

Sapporo as a Winter Wonderland: A Tour of the Capital of Hokkaido

Traveling to Sapporo, Japan, feels similar to entering a wintry fantasy world. Situated on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, this energetic city is well-known for its delicious food, inviting winter scenery, and friendly people. Come along with me as I share the story of my incredible journey through Sapporo's charming streets and snow-covered scenery.

Day 1: Odori Park and Arrival

The stunning scenery of Hokkaido was covered in a layer of snow when my jet descended at New Chitose Airport. As soon as I got off the airport, the cold air welcomed me, but my excitement at seeing Sapporo warmed me instantly.

I explored Odori Park, a key green area that is transformed into a winter wonderland during the annual Sapporo Snow Festival, after getting settled into my comfortable lodging. Even though I didn't come during the event, I was nevertheless enthralled with the park's snow sculptures and illuminations. I enjoyed the sculptures and the city lights that decorated the skyline as I wandered down the trails covered in snow.

Day 2: Maruyama Park and Hokkaido Shrine

A visit to Hokkaido Shrine, a calm and revered location tucked away in the middle of the city, started the second day. Encircled by trees blanketed in snow, the shrine provided a tranquil haven and an insight into Sapporo's spiritual side.

I traveled to Maruyama Park in the afternoon, which is well-known for its breathtaking cherry blossoms in the spring and its serene winter atmosphere. The large open areas of the park were ideal for a peaceful stroll, and I came upon the well-known Maruyama Zoo, where the polar bears played in their snow-covered enclosures, demonstrating the coexistence of urban and natural environments.

Day 3: Susukino District and the Sapporo Beer Museum

Enjoying the city of Sapporo's famed beer culture is a must-do when visiting. I learned about the past of one of Japan's oldest beer breweries by spending the morning visiting the Sapporo Beer Museum. I had the opportunity to taste a selection of recently created Sapporo beers during the tasting portion of the trip.

I went into the busy Susukino neighborhood in the evening, which is well-known for its exciting nightlife and mouthwatering street cuisine. As I had warm sake, ate jingisukan (grilled lamb), and conversed with the welcoming residents, neon lights decorated the streets.

Day 4: Day Trip to Otaru

I spent a day excursion to Otaru, a quaint seaside town conveniently located only a short train journey from Sapporo, since I was eager to see more of Hokkaido. I was taken back in time by the town's ancient canal, which was dotted with dilapidated warehouses. Otaru is renowned for its glassworks, so I had to bring home a piece of handcrafted glass art as a keepsake from my trip.

In summary:

As my time in Sapporo drew to a conclusion, I thought back on the wonderful experiences and sentimental memories the city had given me. I had a great respect for the beauty of Hokkaido's capital after visiting Sapporo, which, from snow-covered mountains and old temples to lively districts and gastronomic pleasures, proved to be a place that perfectly merged history and contemporary.

Sapporo Snow Festival

It is a winter festival held in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. It started in 1950 and is held for about a week from the beginning of February every year. It is a festival that takes advantage of the snowy nature of Hokkaido, and is considered one of the world’s three major winter festivals along with the ‘Ice Lantern Festival’ in Harbin, China and the ‘Quebec Winter Carnival’ in Canada.

Hokkaido, where the Sapporo Snow Festival is held, is the northernmost island in Japan. Except for the coast, the average winter temperature is about 5 degrees below zero. Although the temperature is not on the low side compared to the latitude, in winter, the sea breeze blows from the Sea of Okhotsk, which causes a huge amount of snow. It is said to be the “snow kingdom” as it is the most snowy place in Japan. In winter, the whole of Hokkaido is covered with snow and most of the roads are frozen. Snow sometimes falls as long as May.

The Sapporo Snow Festival was started by the city of Sapporo and the Sapporo Tourism Association. Sapporo is the center of administration, industry, and tourism in Hokkaido, and is also the seat of the prefectural capital of Hokkaido. The Sapporo Snow Festival is a symbol of Hokkaido, attracting about 2 million tourists from all over Japan and abroad every year. About 250 large and small statues made of snow and ice are displayed in Sapporo during the festival. The snow sculptures on display range from 15m in height to miniature sculptures about 2m in height. It has various shapes such as world famous buildings and popular characters, and snow sculptures sculpted by citizens themselves are also on display.

The main venues for the festival are Odori Event Hall, Susukino Event Hall, and Tsudome Event Hall. The Odori venue refers to Odori Park, which runs east to west in Sapporo city. As the first venue at the center of the Sapporo Snow Festival, huge snow sculptures made with various themes are on display. The Susukino venue was newly established in 1983, and you can see sculptures made of ice. Tsudome is a place where you can enjoy various winter activities such as playing in the snow, skating, and sledding. In addition, large and small events such as small art exhibitions are held separately in Sapporo city.
