The second Snow Light Path in Otaru is the Temiya railway track about 10 minutes away from the canal site. The Temiya railway is one of the oldest railway laid in 1880 to transport coals for the development of Hokkaido. The train service was terminated in 1985, leaving the historical track an open space for memory. Every year, a snow tunnel will be will be built and many snow candles will be lit up along the old track, creating a snow light path that connects the past. This path is pretty dark with not much street light. And the candles are also put off manually by 9pm when everyone go home and enjoy the rest of the evening. So time yourself when you come visit this site and be careful when walking on the slippery path.
