Hokkaido | A winter ski/hot spring invitation
Winter, December to February, is the best season for skiing and hot springs♨ in Hokkaido. Landing in Sapporo from 🛬New Chitose Airport, you are invited to a Hokkaido rendezvous.
🗓Recommended itinerary:
First route: Skiing⛷ route, centered around Sapporo, soaking in the resort and ski slopes. Sapporo Teine Ski Resort, the closest to Sapporo. Niseko Higashiyama Ski Resort, with excellent snow quality and slopes. Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU Ski Resort has quality powder snow, and the resort itself is also worth exploring, of course, the price is also beautiful.
Second route: Hot springs♨ route, Sapporo-Otaru-Noboribetsu. Entering Noboribetsu Hell Valley, you can smell and see the natural sulfur hot springs. Different from domestic ones, the hot springs here are separated by gender, and bathing is done naked.
Third route: Snow viewing❄ route, Sapporo-Furano-Biei-Asahikawa. In winter, the trees in Biei sing a lonely song, while the penguins🐧 in Asahikawa perform a joyful symphony.
✈️How to buy discount tickets:
Domestic flights can take off or transfer from Shandong. Shandong Airlines to Japan is considered a budget airline, and sometimes round-trip tickets are less than a thousand.
🏨How to choose accommodation:
For skiing⛷, stay directly at the ski resort, and you can stock up in advance during major OTA promotions, especially at Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU Ski Resort.
For hot springs♨, Otaru can be a day trip, and Noboribetsu is recommended for Dai-ichi Takimotokan, a more established hot spring hotel, with tatami rooms, including dinner buffet, room service, and hot springs.
The inch grassy Hell Valley is rich in the best natural hot springs. The scenery is unique, you can visit during the day and night, and you can smell the sulfur and steam everywhere.
I really enjoy my stay in this small town with a morning walk to Jikokudani. The onsen in the Takimoto Inn Hotel is a good experience too. It is so relaxing and you will looked refreshing after the tiring trip. Strongly recommend and I want to come back again!
The Denbet Hell Valley in Hokkaido, Japan, is a crater site park. The sulfur tastes very strong. Visitors can walk to the middle of the crater. There are also eggs burned with ash for sale. It is delicious.
It is another place that should come along the way, there are many onsen, the atmosphere is the most satisfying.
Super majestic scenery! Snow mountains and sulfur are combined to only sigh the ghostly work of nature 😳😳
