This multi-story snow castle is an example of how large the sculptures can become. Civic associations, local governments and even the self-defense forces help construct these behemoths.
One of the highlights of Pop Japan Travel's winter tour is the Sapporo Snow Festival. This snow castle is just one of many dazzling snow sculptures on display.
