The Snow

Museum 
Asahikawa, Japan

ALPINE SKI HOUSE

Arafeieva Marharyta, Lytvynchuk Daryna, Indonesian group
 SNOW CRYSTAL MUSEUM
IS LOCATED ON THE
HOKKAIDO ISLAND IN
JAPAN.

This museum was born

from the desire to convey
the mystical beauty of a
world of snow and ice to as
many people as possible
throughout the year.

ALPINE SKI HOUSE 2

Nakaya Ukichiro is a scientist and founder of this marvelous place. The museum is named
after him.
As perfectly white as a snow sculpture and reminiscent of an old European castle, it has an
other-world beauty. It’s a fantastic place where you can enjoy snapping selfies while
imagining yourself to be a heroine. ALPINE SKI HOUSE
EXCITEMENT BUILDS AS
YOU APPROACH THE
SNOW CRYSTAL MUSEUM
ENTRANCE!

The doors open to reveal a

brilliantly white entrance.
Bathed in soft light, the space
exudes an air of luxury making
you feel as though you were
being welcomed as a prince or
princess!

THE EXPOSITION OF
THE GALLERY IS
EXTREMELY DIVERSE. 
There is a spiral staircase
that is masterpiece itself.

At the bottom of the stairs

the air feels a bit chilly
because here is the
Corridor of Ice.

THE CORRIDOR OF ICE

Columns of ice 6 meters

tall extend 62 meters on
the other side of the
windows! These are kept
frozen using groundwater
that’s sprayed through
special nozzles.

YOU’LL LOVE THE
MAJESTIC ATMOSPHERE
OF THE MUSIC HALL!

Bright white walls and pillars

rise high above your head, and
beyond that is a huge blue
painting on the ceiling! The
ceiling of the main floor is so
high and spacious it is hard to
believe that it is underground.

MUSIC HALL

This music pavilion is used

for wedding ceremonies
and concerts. It was
designed to create the
image of a babbling brook
fed by melting snow
under a blue, spring sky.

ENTERING THE ANOTHER
ROOM YOU FIND
YOURSELF SURROUNDED
BY GLITTERING SNOW
CRYSTALS!
About 200 enlarged photos of
snow crystals adorn the walls!

No two crystals are exactly the

same. Photos of ice crystals
continue overhead. Going from
right to left, the snow crystals
were made in low-temperature
environments of 5, 10, and 15
degrees below freezing.

BY THE WAY

There are pink snow

crystals mixed with blue
sparkling snow crystals,
and it is said that if you
touch here, you will
become joined with the
person of your dreams!
