About

From late January to early February each year, Saiko Wild Bird Forest Park hosts a festival of ice art. Ice sculptures fill the grounds, and the stars are the ice trees that grow as tall as 5 meters. From sunset until 19:00 the works are lit up and take on a dreamlike look quite different from the daytime. On Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, food and drink stalls open in a special booth on site.
