As evening falls in mid-February, the snow-blanketed streets of Asahikawa transform into a luminous wonderland. The warm glow from the Illumination Tunnel reflects brilliantly off the fresh, white snow, casting a soft light over the quiet walkways. This magical transition from twilight to dark captures the heart of a Hokkaido winter, blending the serene silence of the snow with the festive sparkle of thousands of golden lights.
