SAPPORO, Feb 03 (News On Japan) –
The Sapporo Snow Festival is about to open on February 4, with last preparations accomplished regardless of record-breaking snowfall within the metropolis.
Now in its 76th yr, the Sapporo Snow Festival has moved ahead with preparations amid traditionally heavy snow situations through the winter of 2026.
At the UHB Family Land space of the Odori 10-chome website, an enormous snow sculpture created to commemorate the discharge of the movie Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu, titled “The Silver Snow Star Wars Returns,” has been accomplished.
The sculpture recreates the characters in an enormous construction standing greater than 10 meters tall, delivering an amazing sense of scale and element.
“It is both powerful and intricately crafted, and we believe visitors from February 4 will truly enjoy it,” stated UHB President Toru Tsurui.
The Sapporo Snow Festival will likely be held throughout three venues for eight days beginning on February 4.
