2 Hours of Relaxing Heavy Snow Walk in Hokkaido and Shirakawago | Japan 🇯🇵 【4K HDR Spatial Audio】
Hello! Today, Jiji goes to Odori Park for the Sapporo Snow Festival! It is one of the most famous winter events in Japan ❄️ There are 3 different locations for this event: Odori Park, Susukino, and Tsudome. In this video, we will explore the Odori Park venue~ We also visited other locations and you can check the description below for links. Tonight is the first night of this week-long event. Let’s check out the attractions and sculptures together! It also just started snowing 🌨️❄️ Hello! Today, Jiji goes to Otaru for the Snow Light Path Festival! ❄️🕯️ It’s one of the most famous winter events in Otaru, Hokkaido in which the city becomes beautifully illuminated with thousands of small snow lanterns and light displays. The festival also features various snow sculptures scattered throughout the city, creating a snowy wonderland for visitors to explore. This event attracts many visitors from different parts of the world. However, the fundamental idea of this event is not to increase visitors or revenue, but a chance for people experience the beauty of winter in Hokkaido and immerse oneself in the charm of this historic port city illuminated by the soft glow of snow lanterns and lights. The main attractions of the Otaru Snow Light Path Festival include the Otaru Canal area and that’s where we are heading to today. Also, if you ever plan on visiting Hokkaido, Japan during the winter season, be sure to dress warmly, prepare for cold temperatures, check the weather forecast and bring an umbrella if necessary (don’t be like us haha), as Hokkaido can experience heavy snowfall and chilly weather, just like what we experienced during this walk. But for now, grab a cup of hot tea, coffee, or any beverage of your choice, and enjoy this snowy virtual tour in Otaru! Let’s go~ Sorry, I had to mute the audio here because of copyright music. Let’s take shelter in this hut. We’ll warm up here for a bit. Jiji is laughing because I’m covered in snow and so is my camera 🥶🤣 Hello! Today, Jiji goes to Shirakawago! There’s a heavy snow storm coming today. This should be an exciting walk today 😄 There are gachapon machines even in Shirakawago 😄 Suddenly, it’s snowing a lot harder 🌨️😁 Sorry, I had to lower the audio here because it was loud from the leaf blower. Jiji’s snow dance 💃😄 It’s really windy now. It’s snowing really heavy 🌨️ We are walking against the wind~ My feet are soaked. I didn’t pack snow boots 😅 Let’s grab a hot drink before we head home.
👋🏼 Hello! Today, Jiji goes for a 2-hour winter walk through Japan’s snowiest landscapes, exploring Sapporo, Otaru, and the magical Shirakawago village.
