Winter Fairy Tale: Otaru Canal Snow Light Path

In February, Otaru in Hokkaido transforms into a romantic snow kingdom. As night falls, thousands of small snowmen line the Otaru Canal, each holding a candle. The flickering candlelight dances on the water's surface, creating a dreamy and magical atmosphere. We strolled along the canal and visited the old Temiya Line ruins, where the entire railway track was illuminated by candlelight and snow lanterns, resembling a tunnel of light leading to a fantasy world. Local residents craft handmade snow and ice artworks, exuding a warm and heartfelt charm. Remember to wear non-slip snow boots and use hand warmers to fully enjoy this winter-exclusive romance.
