Top 5 Things to do Adventurous in Sapporo, Hokkaido
Probably best known for its eponymous beer, Sapporo—the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island—has maintained the youthful and open atmosphere of the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, drawing international visitors for its annual Snow Festival and its world-famous ramen. Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

An amazing holiday, Silas and his team guided us round the mountains finding fresh track powder skiing throughout our trip, We stayed in both Sapporo (3 nights) and also at the Lodge at Kiroro (6 nights). Both offered opportunities to explore different culinary and cultural aspects of what Hokkaido has to offer. Highly recommended and we hope to return next year.

The view from Mt Okura Observatory is stunning, at night you can see the city lights spread out in front of you. The cable car was enjoyable. By the way, if you take the bus to the Observatory, make sure you know the time of the return bus, as taxis may be scarce.

We took the one day hot spring package (¥1800) which included round-trip bus tickets from Sapporo Station as well as the entrance ticket to the onsen. The tickets can be purchased at Sapporo Station platform 12. With these tickets, you can take the local bus Rapid No.7 (or the Kappa Liner which requires reservation, if no reservation than you can still aboard this liner if there are extra seats available) which will take roughly 1hr30mins. Upon arrival at the onsen, you will have to remove your shoes at the entrance. There are large lockers for luggages and smaller ones for your shoes, you’ll need a ¥100 coin for each locker which is refundable. There are more lockers in the changing rooms if you want to store your belongings. We brought our own towels, but they have big towels for rental and smaller ones for purchase. They also provide basic toiletries and a hair dryer. As for the onsen itself, they have it indoors and outdoors, and it’s absolutely gorgeous outside. There’s common spaces in the building if you just want to rest and relax. After spending time at the onsen, we had a lovely and satisfying lunch at their restaurant. We had their Indian food but they also have soba, which you have to order and pay before sitting down. Overall the experience was amazing, and I would definitely recommend this place.

We were unsure what to expect when we booked a cab to take us to this venue but very pleasantly surprised on arrival. This massive ski jump must be seen to be believed. Looking up to the top, it is apparent that this sporting event is for extreme skier and definitely not the faint hearted. Really enjoyed the chair lift ride up to the top, despite it being seriously cold and snowing at the time. At the top, looking down the ski jump gave you even more perspective on what these elite sports men and women do. They must have nerves of steel!!! Then to warm up, we went to the museum. This interactive facility was so much fun. Including testing your skills as a ski jumper, bob sledder and ice skater. None of which I will be taking up any time soon based on my results on the simulators!!!
