In total, there were 3 sites for the festival namely, Odori (main) site, Tsudome site and Susukino (ice sculpture) site. We visited the Odori & Susukino sites which surprisingly took up our whole day. So my advice to visitors will be to spare a day...

What I thought was a gruelling 4 months wait, suddenly zoomed past. We waited, we left and now we're back like it never happened. Ok kidding, wonderful things happened and it's always never enough when it comes to vacations huh....
