Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Ice or Snow Sculptures in Hokkaido 2009/10/27 Hokkaido Hi I'll be in Hokkaido in 2010 from 16-24Jan and would like to see ice or snow sculptures display. Does anyone know of any site that is ready and lightup in this period? I checked a few; all seems to start from 25 Jan or later. Is there Drift Ice to see in Abashiri at that timing or is it too early? Any relevant information is greatly appreciated.
