This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
It's coming up soon, and it's the #1 reason I want to visit Japan someday. That and my obsession with Hokkaido. Since I can't get there, I use the magic of webcams to see it in February, so I thought I'd share my favorite webcam links for the festival so everyone else can also see it in a few weeks! If you check them now you can watch the construction of the snow building in the park, too.

Oh the ice festival! Oh I want to go! Alas money is the only issue at the moment, damn low paying non-exsistant jobs.

It's bad netiquette, I know... but I'm bumping my poor little neglected thread, since the Snow Festival has now begun!
Here's another cool link I found... a 3D flyover tour of the whole strip where Ohdori Park is (pick the 'CG-map' option).
And the Official English Language Site for the festival.
