If you ever plan to visit Otaru during winter season, especially during the festival, be sure to dress warmly and prepare for cold temperatures, as Hokkaido can experience heavy snowfall and chilly weather, as what you can see on the video. We didn\u2019t have an umbrella during this walk and had to take shelter towards the end of this video because Jiji and I got covered in snow~<\/p>\n<p>\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffc If you enjoy our videos, please like, comment, or subscribe to find out where Jiji goes next!<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/youtube.com\/@WhereJijiGoes<\/p>\n<p>\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf9e\ufe0f CHAPTERS<br \/>\n00:00 Intro<br \/>\n01:59 Start of walk at Sakaimachi Street<br \/>\n07:40 Sakaihachi Bridge<br \/>\n11:38 Denuki Koji Alleyway<br \/>\n16:33 Otaru Canal venue<br \/>\n24:04 Ice lamps with flowers<br \/>\n25:46 Handmade lamps<br \/>\n29:14 Snow heart photo spot<br \/>\n33:00 Snow got heavier<br \/>\n38:44 Cute dogs<br \/>\n51:06 Railroad venue (Old Temiya Line)<br \/>\n55:21 Photos<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcac You may turn on subtitles by clicking CC on the video settings~<\/p>\n<p>\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc8c LET\u2019S CONNECT<br \/>\n\u25b6 Email: wherejijigoes@gmail.com<br \/>\n\u25b6 YouTube: https:\/\/youtube.com\/@wherejijigoes<br \/>\n\u25b6 TikTok: https:\/\/tiktok.com\/@wherejijigoes<br \/>\n\u25b6 Instagram: https:\/\/instagram.com\/wherejijigoes<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf92 EQUIPMENT<br \/>\n\u25b6 Camera \u2014 Sony a7IV: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3sRiBWw<br \/>\n\u25b6 Lens \u2014 Sony FE 24-70mm f\/2.8 GM II: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ZngxBk<br \/>\n\u25b6 Lens \u2014 Sony FE 70-200mm f\/2.8 GM II: https:\/\/amzn.to\/46CNCM6<br \/>\n\u25b6 Backpack \u2014 Peak Design Everyday Backpack V2: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NKrBnC<br \/>\n\u25b6 Tripod \u2014 Peak Design Travel Tripod: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3S7HBRN<br \/>\n** It doesn&#8217;t cost you extra to buy through these affiliate links and we can make a small commission from purchases **<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc3\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f WHERE JIJI WENT<br \/>\n\u25b6 Sapporo Snowy Midnight Walk: https:\/\/youtu.be\/HIOp_hS_Kcc?si=2rtF5LGINyNfdzGL<br \/>\n\u25b6 Snow in Sakaimachi Street: https:\/\/youtu.be\/zF84sGlN5T4<br \/>\n\u25b6 Sapporo Snow Festival 2024 (Odori Venue): https:\/\/youtu.be\/cjIMrMzvquI<br \/>\n\u25b6 Shirakawa-go Traditional Village Walk: https:\/\/youtu.be\/UahTpIrbipU<\/p>\n<p>\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030\u3030<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd OTARU SNOW LIGHT PATH FESTIVAL (Otaru Yuki Akari no Michi \u5c0f\u6a3d\u96ea\u3042\u304b\u308a\u306e\u8def) is one of the most famous events in Otaru that takes place every year around February, around the same time as Sapporo Snow Festival. It is a magical celebration of winter lights and snow sculptures. The festival typically lasts for about one week, and during this time, the city is beautifully illuminated with thousands of small snow lanterns and light displays.<\/p>\n<p>The festival began in 1999 as a way to attract tourists to Otaru during the winter months and has since become one of the city&#8217;s most popular events. The main attractions of the festival include the snow-covered streets lined with lanterns made from ice and snow, creating a serene and enchanting atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>One of the highlights of the festival is the Otaru Canal, which is adorned with countless snow lanterns and illuminated with various lights, creating a picturesque scene that attracts visitors from all over Japan and around the world. Visitors can stroll along the canal, take photographs, and enjoy the romantic ambiance.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the canal, there are several other locations throughout Otaru where visitors can experience the beauty of the Snow Light Path Festival, including the former Temiya Line railway tracks, which are also decorated with lanterns and light displays.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Otaru Snow Light Path Festival offers a unique opportunity to experience the beauty of winter in Hokkaido and immerse oneself in the charm of this historic port city illuminated by the soft glow of snow lanterns and lights.<\/p>\n<p>#otaru #hokkaido #Japan #japantravel #slowtv #asmr #\u5c0f\u6a3d\u5e02 #\u5317\u6d77\u9053 #\u5c0f\u6a3d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udc4b\ud83c\udffc Hello!
