If you’re dreaming of a place where snow festivals light up the winter and flower fields bloom in the summer, look no further than Sapporo, the capital city of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island. Known for its unique seasonal contrasts, Sapporo is both a winter wonderland and a summer sanctuary—offering year-round adventures for every kind of traveler.
❄️ Winter Magic
Sapporo is world-famous for its Sapporo Snow Festival, held every February. During this time, Odori Park transforms into a spectacular icy gallery, with massive snow and ice sculptures, glowing lights, and fun winter activities like snow slides and ice skating. The nearby Sapporo Teine Ski Resort and Niseko offer powder-perfect slopes for skiers and snowboarders of all levels.
Warm up with a bowl of authentic Sapporo miso ramen, and enjoy hot spring experiences in nearby Jozankei Onsen—all while the snow blankets the city in postcard-worthy beauty.
🌸 Summer Serenity
When the snow melts, Sapporo turns into a vibrant green retreat. Maruyama Park, Moerenuma Park, and Mt. Moiwa provide lush landscapes perfect for hiking and photography. Don’t miss the Sapporo Beer Museum, showcasing Japan’s oldest beer brand, or the relaxing lavender fields of nearby Furano in full bloom.
Summer is also festival season—with fireworks, food markets, and cultural events filling the streets. The weather is mild and refreshing, making it a perfect escape from the humid cities in the south.
