Introduction

Around mid-February each year, the northern city of Otaru welcomes the season of snowflakes dancing in the sky. On the Otaru Canal, glass fishing floats that were once attached to fishing nets are illuminated with candles, creating a beautiful flickering candlelight on the calm and mirror-like water. This sight, combined with the snow-covered scenery, is regarded as one of the most beautiful and romantic winter landscapes in Otaru. You can find specific dates on the official website.
