The Sounkyo Hot Springs Ice Fall Festival is an ice kingdom on the banks of the Ishikari River, which boasts an area of approximately 10,000 square meters.
The various ice sculptures, ice observatory, and ice dome that can be created because of the extreme cold of Hokkaido are very impressive!
At night, the seven-colored lights create a fantastic sight, creating a completely different atmosphere than during the day.
Fireworks displays and hands-on events are also held here, so you are sure to have a great time!
The ice sculptures are quite impressive during the day, but the main attraction is at night!
The beauty of the illuminated ice buildings and tunnels is beyond description.
At night, there are quite a few fireworks, and they are very powerful.
Ice buildings/objects made by shaving a large amount of ice are on display, and at night they are lit up and look great.
Although the schedule is limited, an ice bar is open at night, where visitors can have a drink.
For children, there is a tire tube sledding slope, which was quite enjoyable for them.
There is a free parking lot where about 200 cars can be parked, so please feel free to come by car.
