We’re winding down to the end of the 40th Sapporo Yuki Matsuri. I’ll be showing you only a couple of ice sculptures in this posting, but we’ll also take a look at some of the other scenes Sapporo has to offer.
- Could it be America? No! It’s Japan.
Check out this very victorian-looking structure. It could be anywhere east of the Mississippi, but it’s way, way east of there, in Sapporo, Japan!
Ski when and where you want.
 Bring your skis, and have at it!
Wouldn't it be easier to just go around the bridge?
I suppose it was a challenge well met.
Sapporo Brewery ice sculpture
Kinda hard to do those labels with only ice to work with, I guess.
Getting thirsty yet?
I guess this is supposed to look like the place where they distill Suntory Whiskey.
(UPDATE:Â I took a closer look at the katakana on the sign in front, and apparently this is a model of the Suntory Royal Hotel.)
I’m saving the best ice sculpture for last (next time, that is), along with a photo of the ski jump that was used in the 1972 Winter Olympics.
