Sapporo White Illumination
A major winter event that sparkles in every direction!
This is an illumination event that beautifully decorates Sapporo in winter. The lights of Ekimae-dori Street stretching from north to south and the twinkling lights of Odori Park stretching from east to west create a fantastic scene. The main venue, Odori Park, is an environmentally friendly event, as some of the objects are lit by private power generation and fueled by biodiesel made from waste cooking oil collected from households and other sources.
