Things to do in Sapporo, Hokkaido: The Best Ski & Snowboard Areas

May 20, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

Probably best known for its eponymous beer, Sapporo—the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island—has maintained the youthful and open atmosphere of the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, drawing international visitors for its annual Snow Festival and its world-famous ramen. Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

The view from Mt Okura Observatory is stunning, at night you can see the city lights spread out in front of you. The cable car was enjoyable. By the way, if you take the bus to the Observatory, make sure you know the time of the return bus, as taxis may be scarce.

Actually not even a day trip, from Sapporo station you get there in less than an hr. There are several ways and times you can go to the resort during the day. Went there a few times 2019/.20 season. The night pass is for the lower side of the mountain, so its not as fun as the morning. but great for beginners! one of the cheapest lift tickets around sapporo, and snow on the highland side is pretty good!
