As a kid, my brother and I used to go to my grandparents’ house to celebrate Christmas with them. Blasting from my grandfather’s vintage record player cabinet were songs like wintertime Wonderland and White Christmas. These Christmas carols made me wonder as a child what it would be like to have a white Christmas or to go to a wintertime wonderland.
For lots of who live in temperate regions, wintertime could indicate anything but thrilling. but for a tropical island girl like me, the idea of snow still excites me. Did you know that among all the prefectures in Japan, Hokkaido has the longest winter? It can often start as early as late September and end in early May. Our team has been here six times now, and we still can’t get enough. Yep, because we love the cold!
Hokkaido has warm and dry summer that attracts locals from different regions of Japan. but wintertime is its strongest suit. The prefecture is a go-to destination for mountain and snow activities. It is a lot of popular for its many ski resorts and natural hot springs (onsen). The boosting number of visitors from other Asian nations, like the Philippines, proves that Hokkaido is gradually establishing itself as a worthy vacationer destination in Japan. here are some of the best things to do in Sapporo. We also added some places to check out in nearby cities, which are easily easily accessible from Sapporo.

Sapporo City Tour
Image supplied by Klook
Sapporo is a city that is very easy to explore. but if you’re traveling with kids or seniors or you simply want to be a lot more comfortable, a terrific option is joining a group tour. a lot of city excursions cover the crucial attractions. You can just book, hop in, and the bus will take you straight to the attractions. No need to navigate.
Klook uses a morning excursion and an afternoon tour. but the travel plan is different. The stops of the morning excursion are not always the same as that of the afternoon tour. The travel plan also changes depending on the day and season. Make sure you check the travel plan of both excursions before booking.
Each booking already covers the bus fee and multilingual audio guides.
