Thousands converged on Yoyogi Park in Tokyo over the weekend for Hokkaido Fair, a 4-day celebration of the snowy northern prefecture.

Food vendors and others brought some of the local delicacies the region is famous for. Hokkaido is known for its annual snow sculpture festival, beer, potatoes, dairy and meats.

The event is a good primer leading up to the winter season.
