Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort

Sapporo Kokusai is a popular resort located in the mountains between Sapporo and Otaru, known for its abundant snowfall and one of the longest ski seasons in the Sapporo area. With 7 well-designed courses including a 3.6-kilometer long cruising run, the resort offers a quality experience despite its relatively small number of courses. The high base elevation of 630 meters ensures excellent snow conditions throughout the season.

Receiving an average of 11 meters of snow annually, Sapporo Kokusai consistently provides deep, reliable snow cover that often extends the season well into May. The resort is popular with Sapporo residents as a day-trip destination and offers convenient access from the city via direct bus services. The nearby Jozankei Onsen hot spring town, one of Hokkaido's premier hot spring areas, makes for a perfect side trip after skiing.
