7 days in Sapporo Itinerary

A modern, bustling city known for its beer brewery, Sapporo attracts millions of visitors with its Snow Festival, during which elaborate ice and snow sculptures are exhibited all over town.

Your day by day itinerary now includes Mt. Moiwa as well as Historical Village of Hokkaido (Kaitaku-no Mura). You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Oyunumagawa Natural Footbath and Kokuei Takino Suzuran Hillside National Park. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Sapporo: Rusutsu Resort Ski (in Rusutsu-mura) and Noboribetsu Marine Park Nixe (in Noboribetsu). There's much more to do: walk around Asahiyama Kinen Koen, fly down the slopes at Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort, test the waters at a local thermal spa, and visit Nijo Market.
