The festival is one of Japan's largest winter events. In 2007 (58th Festival), about two million people visited Sapporo to see the hundreds of beautiful snow statues and ice sculptures at Odori Park and Susukino sites, in central Sapporo, and at Satoland site. (Wikipedia)

I really wanted to attend this year, but was unable to. How wonderful. I've heard nothing but good things about this festival. At least there's the sakuras. You have a beautiful stream. Keep up the inspirational work. :)
