Things to do in Sapporo
Japan·365 bookable experiences
Sapporo is the base for Hokkaido: ski fields within an hour, the Otaru canal a short train ride away, and some of the best seafood and ramen in the country. Winter is the headline season, but summer here is the mildest in Japan and the lavender fields are worth the drive.

Questions travellers ask
- How far are the ski resorts from Sapporo?
- Teine and Kiroro are under an hour; Niseko, the famous one, is about two and a half by bus. Plenty of the day trips here include transfers and rental gear.
- Is Hokkaido worth visiting outside winter?
- Very — it is the one part of Japan with a comfortable summer. July brings the lavender in Furano and hiking in Daisetsuzan without the humidity the rest of the country suffers.
