This is a major annual winter event held at Onuma Park. Onuma Park is about 40 minutes from Hakodate, so be sure to visit.
The Onuma Hakodate Snow and Ice Festival is a major winter event in Southern Hokkaido, first held in 1965 to commemorate the designation of “Hakodate, Nanae (Onuma), Matsumae, and Esashi” as an international tourism route in 1964. The “Jumbo Slide,” made by cutting ice from the frozen Lake Onuma, is a favorite among both children and adults. The festival also features charming snow sculptures created by local elementary and middle school students, as well as impressive ice carvings by the Hakodate Ice Carving Club.
