Odori Park Located in Odori Park in the center of Sapporo, here you will find a fascinating world of snow and ice stretching across approximately 1.5 kilometers. You can enjoy a wealth of attractions such as the amazing huge snow sculptures, and much more! I went Hokkaido in Feb this year and this trip was amazing !

The Asahidake Cable Car Station, the highest peak in Hokkaido, is located in the Asahidake Hot Springs area.

#Sapporo Attractions The towering peaks of Daisetsuzan National Park are covered with snow, as if the earth is covered with a layer of crystal coat. The fresh air is filled with the fragrance of pine trees, which makes me feel relaxed and happy. I walked slowly up the trail, and the scenery around me changed as the altitude increased. On the mountainside, colorful wild flowers swayed in the sun, as if waving to me. As I climbed higher, I could hear the sound of a brook flowing. The water rushed among the rocks, making a charming melody. When I arrived at an observation deck, I was amazed by the sight before me. The snow-capped mountains in the distance sparkled in the sunlight, and the clouds in the valley were misty, as if you were in a fairyland. At this time, several climbers also came here. They all stopped and immersed themselves in this magnificent picture, their hearts filled with awe. I took out my camera and wanted to capture this rare moment, but found that no matter how I took the picture, it seemed unable to express the magic of this place. So, I decided to calm down, close my eyes, and feel the power and beauty of this land. The gentle breeze brought the cool breath of the snow-capped mountains, making me feel one with nature.

#sapporoattractions Sahoro Ski Resort is a paradise for winter sports enthusiasts. The snow quality here is excellent, which makes me miss it every time I come! 🏂 When I set foot on the snow track and felt the excitement of skiing, my mood instantly became extremely happy. 🎉 The ski resort has complete facilities, so both novices and experts can find suitable ski trails. 🌟 I learned new skills under the guidance of the coach and became a "falling expert", but I couldn't help but laugh every time I got up! 😂 #SahoroSkiResort #IceSnowCarnival #FallExpert ⛄️🎿

#sapporoattractions I embarked on a mountaineering trip to Daisetsuzan National Park. This towering snow mountain presented me with an unforgettable alpine adventure. 🗻 Along the way, we climbed steep mountain roads, and with every step forward, the surrounding scenery changed completely. 😮 From the green forest trails, to the gradually thinning vegetation, and finally entering the snow-capped world of ice and snow. I couldn't help but be shocked by the magnificent scene in front of me. The surrounding snow-capped peaks stood under the blue sky, as magical and charming as pieces of natural sculptures. As the altitude continued to climb, breathing gradually became difficult, but I felt an unprecedented excitement. 💪 Every step was not easy, but when I finally reached the top and overlooked the surrounding areas, I felt a sense of accomplishment that made me ecstatic. 😊 In this snow-capped mountain, I felt the shocking power of natural beauty, and also experienced the pride in my own efforts to move forward. This mountaineering trip will definitely be an unforgettable experience for me. #大雪山Nationalpark #山Exploration #雪山游

There are not many tourists coming to Jiwei Ski Resort, so it is very suitable for beginners to practice. After a few lessons, the little girl can freely glide on the novice ski trails.

#thingstodo 100 famous mountains in Japan, Mt. Tokachi I feel that the charm of this mountain is not conveyed when you climb it with a day trip piston. The longitudinal track before and after Mt. Tokachi is wonderful, and you can enjoy the mountain-like scenery of Hokkaido. Only around Mt. Tokachi is a rocky zone due to the influence of volcanoes, and it feels like you came to an alien planet. I felt that this series of unique landscapes such as high matsu belts, pebble belts, cliffs, and rocks was a wonderful place around this mountain. From Bogakudai, if you are confident in your leg strength and endurance, it will be Mt. Tokachi via Mt. Biei, otherwise it will be a piston, but the scenery you can see is completely different. I think it's good to have a route to stay overnight at the Biei Fuji evacuation hut and then go down the mountain via Mt. Tokachi the next day. It was a superb view that made me want to traverse to Tomuraushi someday. Astremb to the summit on August 29, 2023 From travelers from Hokkaido living in Tokyo

#thingstodo One of the best, most rugged national parks in the world. The wind is no joke on the peaks. Bring a windbreaker with a hood for any season. Not a lot of water, so plan ahead! I went in late September and the fall colors were already in full swing. Also the backcountry trails are very steep. If you have knee problems, probably don’t try to summit these mountains. It’s intense on the way back down. But oh so beautiful. My photos don’t come close to capturing it.

Hotel🏨｜Club Med Hokkaido Sahoro Resort Address｜Hokkaido Shintoku Karikachi Kogen ———Report📃——— 【Design🌟】 The design of the public space incorporates many traditional elements of Hokkaido. You can delve into the hidden traditions of the Ainu, the indigenous people of Hokkaido in Japan. Known as 'Bear People', they use patterns and carvings to create crafts, decorating various daily necessities, expressing their understanding of nature. - 【Rooms🛏】 The interior of the deluxe room is Japanese style, small but complete. The bathing area is divided into two separate wet and dry areas. Although the washing space is not large, it can still accommodate a bathtub and a washbasin. - The storage space is also well planned. The whole wall opens to reveal a cabinet, filled with hangers, which is really great. A foldable sofa bed is cleverly placed, so even if a large family stays, it can perfectly 'add a bed.' - The resort also has many room types suitable for family stays. For example, the small family superior room is very warm and cute. 27㎡ can accommodate two adults and one child. - 【Restaurant🍽】 In addition to the buffet mode in the Daichi restaurant, there are also separate food pick-up windows, where chefs will cook and display on the spot, such as pork ribs, roast chicken legs, steaks, etc. every night. - If you like Japanese food, there will be surprises during lunch and dinner time, such as this time I tasted very fresh tuna crab meat rice, seafood well, salmon sushi, roe rice. - 【Public Area💃】 The Club Med performance theater can make you have fun every night. For example, this time we enjoyed a professional live band specially from Europe, a concert-level live dance beauty, it is a visual and auditory feast!! - In addition, various themed party performances take turns on stage. Singing and dancing G.Os from all over the world will rehearse songs and dances for friends who come from afar. - Different themed parties will also be planned, such as fluorescent parties, cowboy parties, white parties, etc. Everyone will wear clothes of the same color, offering wonderful song medleys, costume shows... The brilliance of the singing and dancing stage is really not inferior to the singer idols! - 【Parent-child🎪】 The mini club is an area where children aged 2 to 3 can play, with Lego blocks, small cars, and all kinds of small toys (if children of this age need G.O care, they need to pay extra). - 【Fitness🏃】 Next to the conference room on the second floor of the main hotel building, there is an exclusive yoga space. There are yoga instructors who will start classes here every day. Popular Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga, etc. can be experienced at the touch of a button.

Midsummer in Hokkaido, coincides with typhoon days, is very hot, and always rains. Zaju - city tour, shopping street, Zaju Tower, and met the beer festival! Biei - Platinum Aoki Pond, Whitebeard Falls, uncanny workmanship. Furano - flower fields everywhere, missed lavender, and many, many flowers. Oh, and super sweet melon! Hakodate - Unfortunately it rained, one of the million night views you can't enjoy. I can only look at the sun view the next morning! Noboribetsu - The land of hot springs, look for cute evil ghost statues! There is also a crater lake! Toya - a leisurely and slow life. Yu Shi - like whiskey can't miss it! Otaru - the city of romance! Wind chimes are everywhere!
