65th SAPPORO SNOW FESTIVAL （さっぽろ雪まつり）

The 65th SAPPORO SNOW FESTIVAL （さっぽろ雪まつり） has just started today (Feb. 5th-11th), and I checked it for a tour from tomorrow.

There are several booths serving hot drinks and food free of charge! I'm sure my guests will love it!

I walked from 8 chome to 2 chome along Odori Park （大通公園）, a main venue of the festival.

■Hokkaido Winter Food Park
How attempting the food court is!

Among a lot of booths, I chose this Betsukai stall, because I've stayed Betsukai （別海） for one month as an interpreter.

Do you have any idea what kind of burger it is?
