Hokkaido is a snow lover’s paradise. While hitting the slopes for some skiing is very popular, there are many other ways to enjoy wintertime fun in Hokkaido. From easy activities that are fun for the whole family to more adventurous challenges for outdoorsy types, here are eight things to try in Hokkaido this winter.
Every year the Takino Suzuran Hillside National Government Park is tremendously popular with both residents of Sapporo and tourists alike. In the winter, the park is open to the public for free and hosts a variety of winter activities like snow tubing, snowshoeing, skiing, and snowboarding! The park even provides visitors with rental tubes or plastic sleds free of charge.
While all the activities are fun, you don’t want to miss the snow tubing. The park is home to the longest course in the country at 200 meters. Rushing down this impressive course is sure to make a lasting memory. What’s more, there’s even a free towing service so you can get back up to the starting point without breaking a sweat.
The park is also an excellent place for first-timers to try out skiing or snowboarding on slopes designed to be challenging yet beginner friendly. Rental skis are available for a fee and there's also a ski lift.
If you’d like to take in the area’s majestic scenery, how about a snowshoe course? You can walk with ease on the fluffy snow using snowshoes as you enjoy one of three routes.
For anyone interested in some casual wintertime fun, this is a great place to visit!
