Sapporo Winter Illumination

The photos in this post was taken across few nights in Sapporo. Sometime with crazy snow, sometimes with less crazy weather. On a good day, the weather was around -2 Degrees Celsius. Yes, on a good day. The above photo was taken on a good day where we managed to walk quite pleasantly, except for the slippery road, across a few shopping streets. 

Above shot was taken on a more snowy night. This is a 6:41pm in the evening, and everything was light-up even though there wasn't much people around. Every year around Christmas time, there is this Illumination Event in Sapporo. You can also find the same thing in Tokyo. I was there with some friends like in 2014 and saw similar kind of Illumination all over Tokyo, minus the crazy snow. We did however experience some light flurries while we were there. 

Above was taken outside JR Sapporo area, where all the malls are situated. This one kinda reminds me of Wheelock Place in Singapore. 

Near the Christmas Village they also have some artistic looking Christmas Trees like this one. 

And I really like these minty green light decorations on the streets. This is one of the shopping streets along the Sapporo underground. This was taken on a good evening where we decided to come out from the underground and take a look outside :)

So yes, it was a beautiful sight, and memorable experience. I don't plan to go in winter again cause I'm really not a winter person. Maybe once is enough. I prefer autumn, or maybe early spring.
