&Sapporo
The 800,000 light bulbs across five sites glitter in a beautiful, dreamlike winter view of Sapporo. From Odori 1st to 6th streets, the differently themed light constructs are worth a look.
The Sapporo White Lightup started with just 1,048 light bulbs, back in December 1981. Today it spans from 1st to 6th street of Sapporo Odori Park, Sapporo Station’s south exit station front field, the Sapporo Station Pasage, the Sapporo City North Sanjo "Akapla"site, and Minami Ichijo Passage, for a total of 5 sites, making a massive event with 800,000 bulbs. The Odori Park site has themed light constructs from first to sixth streets, each with a different theme. Additionally, the Munich Christmas Market is held until Christmas in the Odori Site. In a recreation of the German Advent, Christmas goods, hot wine and German foods are sold from stalls. *The 19th Munich Christmas Market in Sapporo for 2020 was cancelled.
