The annual Sapporo Snow Festival, which is taking place from February 6–12 in 2017, has a number of elaborate and amusing sculptures featuring characters and scenes from Star Wars, Final Fantasy VII, Pikachu and PPAP. Additionally, an amazing reproduction of the Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile and a Kohfukuji Temple and a hilarious bust of an open-mouthed Donald Trump made heads turn.
