Sapporo Guide and Five-Day Itinerary During the Snow Festival
As the capital city of Hokkaido and Japanās fifth largest city, Sapporo is a city with plenty of things to see and do. Its annual Snow Festival, held every February, attracts tourists from all over Japan and the world. In this article, I will be sharing with you the 5-day itinerary I made for my own trip in February 2023 to enjoy both the festival and explore Sapporo and its surroundings, as well as some tips to help you prepare for your visit of this great city.
Otaru in Winter: an Unforgettable Day Trip from Sapporo
