Sapporo
The fifth-largest city in Japan, Sapporo has just about everything you would want in a big city: shopping, delicious food, and bustling nightlife, among many others. And though many are in Sapporo for only a day or two as they make their way to Hokkaido, we recommend staying a bit longer for the local experiences if you can spare the time! Some must-visit attractions in the city include the Sapporo TV Tower, the Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, and Susukino for those wanting to experience the local nightlife scene. Sapporo is typically at its busiest during February when visitors flock to the city to partake in the Snow Festival and in the summertime to feast on beer and delicious eats at the food festivals.

We had an amazing day at Teine Ski Resort! Even though we were hit with a blizzard and couldn’t use the cable car, it was still such a fun and memorable experience for the three of us.
Our instructor was absolutely amazing — especially with our son Zach. He was patient, encouraging, and made Zach feel confident and excited the whole time. You could really tell he cared and knew exactly how to work with kids.
Despite the weather, we had a fantastic time and would 100% recommend this experience. Thank you for such a great day on the snow!

Bus for pick up is on time and comfortable. When we arrived at the snow mobile park, they will check your registration and issue winter jacket, pants, shoes, helmet and hand gloves. Briefing will be done by instructor and each instructor will take about 4 people which is good and they are able to take care of our safety. they will stop at 2 places for us to take pictures. Overall, it’s really fun and a great experience! Good activity for those that can’t ski or scared to try skiing like me to do snow mobile! the picture with 2 rider is just for photo taking only… we need to ride our own mobile🤣

Led by a Chinese guide fluent in English, safely traveled by bus with people of various nationalities. They even kindly supported us with renting equipment. The guide was really friendly and provided a lot of useful information. We were lucky with the weather, and everyone on the bus kept their time commitments, so we returned to the city center early. Highly recommend!

This is a very worthwhile ski experience course, perfect for first-timers. The course is well-organized, and special thanks to the twin-tip ski instructor, Aria, for her careful and patient teaching, which made the whole learning and experience process very reassuring and brought this ski experience to a perfect end.
Safety is the most important thing in skiing, and this course includes all the necessary ski equipment, which is very friendly to beginners. You only need to prepare a warm face mask and thick socks yourself. The overall experience is very relaxed and burden-free, and it is worth recommending.

First time in Sapporo learning snowboarding as a beginner - a heartfelt thank you to Coach FG for his patience and support throughout the 3 day period, he really went the extra mile to make sure I progressed as much as I could and took the most out of the 9 hours I spent with him. I will definitely take classes with him again the next time I'm back.

Very satisfied with the service especially after the whole day of skiing. Bus was on time and the driver was friendly. We booked for 2 days of skiing. We left our bag in the bus on the first day. We called the bus company and they put the bag in the bus for our 2nd day.

We had the bes experience in Bibai. if you wanted to experience snow with no problem go here and spend a day if you have time. kids and adults enjoy the place. there is a restaurant buffet when you arrive just reserve especially if you will be going when there is crowd. Jessica was our guide and she was even able to help us get discount with unlimited rides on the place. Our issue was that the Hotel is pinned in the wrong place. we had to second guess where and had to go back to the Sapporo View Hotel. in the instructions it said that the location is Odori park view Hotel.
