小樽雪燈之路 / The Snow Light Path : Edited in 2016

小樽雪燈之路（位於小樽市）是從1999年開始的冬季祭典。用冰或雪所做的容器或擺飾內擺放著蠟燭，隨著夕暮來臨點燃燭光。主要會場位在小樽運河和廢止的舊鐵道線路上。在黑暗中街道轉變爲夢幻的氛圍。其他的觀光景點也以燭光妝點著。小樽雪燈之路的期間為2月上旬到2月中旬。

The Snow Light Path (Otaru City) is a popular winter event which started in 1999. Candles are displayed beside, or covered by containers or artistic objects made of snow or ice. Star and owl shaped objects seem popular. As the sun goes down, all the candles are lit and their cold lanterns deliver faint warm light. In the dark, the mood created by the ice candles feels magical. Otaru Canal and the former railway line are the main sites of the paths. While these are the main two sites for the candle displays, many sightseeing spots in Otaru have candle displays. The path is open from the beginning to the middle of February.
