What’s On This Week: Feb 2 – Feb 8

いよいよ。

The much‑awaited Snow Festival begins this week on Wed, Feb 4, and will run for one week until Wed, Feb 11, which is a holiday here. The heavy snowfall over the weekend is still affecting JR Hokkaido operations, with reduced train services. Bus service was also suspended in many parts of the city today. It’s unclear how this will impact inbound tourists coming for the festival.

There isn’t much else to highlight, as most events this week are tied to the Snow Festival. You can already feel the growing anticipation in the air as more visitors arrive. I just hope everyone has a great time and enjoys the festivities.
