Experience Japan's winter wonderland in Sapporo and enjoy skiing, hot springs and traditional Japanese culture, while not forgetting the tasty seafood and steaming bowls of miso ramen.

Autumn makes Sapporo glow in the shimmering shades of orange, red and brown.
Sapporo, the largest city in Hokkaido Island, is a great destination for winter sports lovers – you can spend an active winter day at one of Sapporo's many ski resorts. Every year at the beginning of February, the city is celebrating a popular snow festival: Sapporo Snow Festival. Take in the atmosphere of a big winter party, admire the detailed ice sculptures and talented musicians. And, as said, the event is wildly popular – every February, the famous snow festival attracts over 2 million visitors to the city.
