The problem with attending the Sapporo Snow Festival is that you have to plan well in advance. The flights and hotels become full, way before the festival. For those who can't make it, there is Tokamachi Snow Festival in South Eastern Niigata. Around four hours from Tokyo even if you travel by bus, this is much less crowded but getting better each year.
