The ski resort is usually covered in powder snow, especially during peak season. The snow quality is just perfect—definitely one of the must-visit ski spots on my list.

Hilton Yokohama
Hilton Yokohama opened in September 2023. Located across from Yokohama Bay Quarter, it offers beautiful views reflected on the water. It’s a great base for sightseeing in the Minato Mirai area and Yokohama Chinatown, with excellent access to nearby attractions like K-Arena Yokohama and the Yokohama Anpanman Children’s Museum.
It’s a bit far from JR or the main station—about a 10–15 minute walk. If you have luggage or are traveling with kids, it can feel tiring.

Sapporo Snow Festival
Ranked as one of the world's top three snow festivals, the Sapporo Snow Festival is a coveted winter extravaganza held every February in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The even kicked off in 1950 when local middle and high school students created snow sculptures in Odori Park. The event has since grown into a massive festival that draws some two million visitors from around the world each year.
Every year, the snow sculptures have a different theme, often inspired by current trends like popular anime or movie characters. There's always something new and exciting to see!

Jigokudani Monkey Park
Located along the Yokoyugawa River flowing from the Shiga Highlands and sitting at an elevation of 850 meters, Jigokudani Monkey Park exists in a harsh environment where one-third of the year is blanketed in snow. With its rugged cliffs and steam rising from hot springs everywhere, it's no wonder the place is called Jigokudani, or "Hell's Valley."
It's a bit of a walk to get to the monkey hot spring, and the path can be icy and not so easy to walk on. But the scenery along the way is really beautiful!
