#SnowTravel #100TravelTips 🧊 Only 3 months! This place will be crowded with tourists, not just Thais and Japanese...but tourists from all over the world will flock to the main airport of Hokkaido. 🏂 You have to brace yourself! In the hotness and awesomeness of this place, the most famous ski resort is "Kiroro Ski Resort", just 1 hour from Sapporo. You will find a beautiful city with many winter activities, whether it's skiing, taking a cable car to see the view, soaking in an outdoor or private onsen, watching reindeer and sliding down the slide, and another hit is the Snowmobile. 🏂 All activities will be done together with touching quality snow that is clean white powder, fine crystals, dry and very low humidity, called "Japan Snow Powder".

#VisitHokkaido #100TravelTips ☃️ “Kiroro Ski Resort” is about 1 hour from Sapporo. The quality of the snow here is clean white powder, fine crystals, dry and very low humidity. It is called “Japan Snow Powder” and is famous all over the world. The height of the snow is 20 meters or more, which is considered almost the highest compared to general ski resorts. Therefore, it is not surprising that the airport is almost overflowing with tourists during December - February of every year. 🧊 At “Kiroro”, there are other activities to do besides skiing, such as soaking in an outdoor, indoor or private onsen, watching reindeer with a slide, and another hit is the Snowmobile with Staff to take care of everything!

This article shares one of the high-quality hotels in a Japanese ski resort, the Yu Kiroro. The design in this Yu Kiroro hotel is very high, mainly made of wood, and the furniture is of high-quality and luxurious style. It is completely My favorite style! This hotel has very high-quality management services. The most advanced one I think is their 24-hour senior concierge service‼ ️However, when it comes to the room, it is very spacious and the lighting is very high.

This is the peaceful and beautiful place! I highly recommended to stay this hotel if you like skiing and hot spring spa in the winter.

Kiroro Resort is located in the middle of a valley on Hokkaido Island, far from the city center. It is suitable for relaxing at True. Inside the resort, there are ten floors. The lobby floor has a Warm Light chandelier hanging from the gap in the middle of the resort, giving a very warm feeling. The bedroom is on the 5th floor, 528. The bedroom area is very large. I tried to lie down on the bed, almost couldn't get up. The bed sucked my soul because the bed was very soft. Here, there are hot springs both inside and outside the resort (whoever wants to soak in the hot spring water in the cold, come here 😁). Before going in, you have to take off everything. There are separate male/female zones ready to provide services. Safe and comfortable If anyone wants privacy, I recommend coming to Kiroro Resort. Especially during the day, there are fun activities, both ski slopes and ice bars. You will be very happy when you come here 😊 #ReviewJapan #WaitingForTheDayToTravel #AccommodationWithAmazingViews #AccommodationInJapan #VisitHokkaido

It's about 30 minutes from Otaru city via National Route 393. I often see wild goats on the roadside around here, but when I visited I was surprised! There were goats and alpacas grazing in the park. #Hokkaido #ranch #animals #themepark #having fun at the theme park#cafe hopping#supporting tourism#traveling with children

We visited Otaru Canal in the morning, and it was such a peaceful experience. The soft morning light cast a gentle glow over the water, and the entire area felt calm and quiet—almost like we had the place to ourselves. It’s a lovely contrast to the usual crowds you’d expect at more popular hours. The historic brick warehouses along the canal were bathed in light, and you could really appreciate their details and textures without distractions. The canal itself was so still, creating perfect reflections of the sky and buildings—ideal for photo-taking. One of the highlights was just strolling slowly and enjoying the cool air, watching the occasional boat tour pass by. We didn’t feel rushed at all, and it was the perfect way to ease into our day in Otaru. Even without the romantic evening lights, the morning had its own charm—quiet, serene, and almost meditative. If you’re looking to beat the crowd and soak in the authentic beauty of the canal, early morning is definitely the best time to go. #summervacay #OtaruCanal #OtaruSunset #HokkaidoTrip #OtaruVibes #JapanTravelMoments #hokkaido #hokkaidotrip #japan #japantrip

⛷️ For adults who love skiing and are traveling with kids, there's no easier option than Club Med. Simply entrust your kids to the childcare services and enjoy carefree skiing! 😊 With free ski lessons 🏂🏻, exclusive ski lounges 🎿, five meals a day 🍣, post-ski hot springs ♨️, and a packed schedule of Club Med entertainment activities, it's both a ski trip and a vacation. Adults can relax while kids burn off their energy 🔋. Today marks the official opening of early bird bookings for the 2026 season at Hokkaido's four ski resorts. As many know, accommodation prices during the ski season in Hokkaido can be high and hard to secure 🥲. Booking a year in advance is the most cost-effective option, especially for those planning to ski during Christmas, New Year, or Spring Festival holidays. Early bookings can save you up to 35% compared to peak season prices‼️ Club Med has four ski resorts in Hokkaido: ⭐ Hoshino Tomamu: The largest of the four resorts, offering the most ski trails and a wide variety of activities beyond skiing. ⭐ Kiroro: Known as the "Powder Snow God" of Hokkaido ❄️, it boasts the highest snowfall in the region, allowing skiing for up to 160 days, even into spring. While the snow quality is excellent, additional facilities are limited, making Kiroro ideal for those focused solely on skiing. ⭐ Grand: Suitable for all ages, featuring more rooms and natural hot springs. ⭐ Peak: Exclusively for guests aged 12 and above. Located close to Grand, both resorts offer ski-in/ski-out accommodations. ⭐ Sahoro: Although the furthest away and with fewer ski trails, it has significant advantages. The resort is nestled in the mountains of Hokkaido, surrounded by national park-level scenic forests ⛰️, offering a private and tranquil setting away from crowds. With fewer visitors, you can ski from morning till evening, almost like having the slopes to yourself. Its 22 trails cater to all skill levels ❄️, and separate ski areas for adults and kids ensure a safe and family-friendly experience 👨👩👦. Sahoro also boasts a unique advantage: a 70% sunny day rate throughout the ski season 🌞. Apart from Sahoro, the other three resorts are all roughly equidistant from New Chitose Airport.

Short review So much fun, so much experience ⛷️❄️ If you have a chance to travel during the cold season, with fluffy snow, try playing. If I have to recommend, I would recommend only📍hats and gloves. We can buy them ourselves, they will be cheaper. #skiing #firsttimeskiing #skiresort #traveljapanbyourself #hokkaido

If you're in Sapporo during winter, don’t miss the chance to take a magical day trip to Otaru, a charming port town full of delicious eats and romantic streets! My trip started with a visit to Sapporo’s 三角市场 (Sankaku Market) — just steps from JR Sapporo Station. There, I enjoyed an unforgettable breakfast at 龙波食堂 (Donburi Chaya). The seafood donburi was unbelievably fresh, loaded with Hokkaido uni, ikura, scallops, and sweet shrimp — absolutely a must-eat! After the feast, I hopped on a quick 1-hour train ride to Otaru. The view from the train in winter is stunning — snow-covered towns and sparkling sea views. Once in Otaru, I headed straight to the famous Otaru Canal, lined with vintage warehouses and soft-glowing gas lamps. The snowy scenery was picture-perfect and felt like a fairytale! Wandering along Sakaimachi Street, I was greeted with cozy cafés, music box shops, glassware stores, and endless food stalls. One of the best parts? The desserts! You must try LeTAO’s signature double fromage cheesecake — creamy, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. I also tried their chocolate version and couldn’t resist buying a few boxes to take home! Travel Tips: Start early to enjoy breakfast at 三角市场 before heading to Otaru. Take the JR Rapid Airport line — it’s fast and scenic. Wear warm layers and snow boots — the streets are icy! Bring a camera or phone with plenty of storage — every corner is photo-worthy. Otaru in winter is a perfect blend of history, food, and romance — ideal for couples, friends, or even solo explorers! #OtaruDayTrip #WinterInHokkaido #SeafoodHeaven #SapporoEats #SankakuMarket #LeTAO #SnowyJapan #Tripdotcom #HiddenGemsJapan #OtaruCanalVibes #FoodieTrip #SweetToothJapan #JapanInWinter

#skitrip Kiroro Ski Resort, located in Hokkaido, is a hidden gem known for its deep, light powder and uncrowded slopes. It offers a variety of well-groomed runs for all levels, but its true appeal lies in its off-piste and tree skiing, making it a paradise for powder enthusiasts. The resort receives consistent snowfall, ensuring excellent conditions throughout the season. Modern facilities, high-speed lifts, and a family-friendly atmosphere add to its appeal. While it lacks the nightlife of Niseko, its peaceful setting, high-quality snow, and luxurious accommodations make Kiroro an excellent choice for skiers seeking a premium, powder-filled experience in Japan.

First trip of the year to Hokkaido snow It is undeniable that Japan is a great place to visit these days. It is considered a dream destination for many people, including myself. This trip, I will take you to Hokkaido snow. Let's relax in a hotel where you can have a complete trip in one place with Yu Kiroro. The hotel has a view of the snow as far as the eye can see. Importantly, you can walk down to ski from the front of the hotel. The hotel has complete facilities. What I really like is that there is a very large onsen to soak in. This time, I flew directly with Thai Air Asia X which has direct flights every day to both airports. It is very convenient. For those who are afraid of being hungry, don't worry because every menu on the plane is delicious. - XJ 620 Bangkok (Don Mueang) - Sapporo Departure time 02:05 Arrive time 10:40 - XJ 621 Sapporo - Bangkok (Suvarnabhumi) Departure time 11:55 Arrive time 17:50 You can inquire at Fly AirAsia For those who are worried about getting lost or are not good at traveling You can buy a travel package with Real Journey Travels which has a variety of programs including a special ski trip #ThaiAirAsiaX #FlyAirAsia #YuKiroro

#Couple #SapporoTravel #SkiResort #Snowboarding #ClubMed Club Med Kiroro Peak 📍650 Tokiwa, Akaigawa-mura Yoichi-gun Hokkaido 📍2 hours from Sapporo New Chitose Airport Club Med Kiroro Peak! Kiroro Peak, which opened on the day of its renovation to a 5-star hotel! I was assigned to a room on the 4th floor, and was greeted by cottage-like windows and a view of gondolas passing by outside the window! They also changed all the bedding to a 5-star hotel, so it couldn't have been more cozy! Club Med was so great because I could see the snow without any worries even in November.

I have heard of the reputation of Hokkaido resorts for a long time and wanted to experience an all-inclusive resort for a long time, but I was always discouraged by the price🥲 Finally, my husband booked this resort when planning his honeymoon trip, and my dream came true🥹 During the 4 days and 3 nights at the resort, every day was refreshing and leisurely: either taking ski lessons, or eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating... and then partying until late at night every night! 🥳 I also met new friends from different countries here! The only regret is that it doesn’t snow every day in Hokkaido in early December, and the temperature hovers between 8 degrees and minus 8 degrees. In just a few days we experienced skiing in extreme weather conditions including snow, rain, and even hail. Let's talk about what activities you can experience, skiing, snowmobiles, snow hiking, surfing halls, hot springs, ice and snow villages, night performances, there are quite a lot of activities to do, and it would be a bit short if you don't stay for three or four nights [Awesome] If I have the chance, I will definitely choose January/February when I come to Hokkaido in winter next time without hesitation. Looking forward to unlocking the next Hokkaido resort🤭

#skiseason Another Hokkaido gem, Kiroro is known for its reliable powder snow and serene mountain environment. The resort has two main hotels and well-maintained runs that appeal to both beginners and intermediates, with designated powder zones and backcountry access for advanced skiers. Kiroro’s “powder zone” is a popular area for those looking to practice or experience deep powder skiing, and the resort’s self-contained design, with excellent on-site dining and accommodation options, makes it a great choice for those wanting a secluded winter getaway.

Kiroro Ski is a very beautiful ski resort. Here, you can enjoy all types of skiing, with professional instruction and guidance available. The area also features hotels that cater specifically to ski enthusiasts, such as Yu Kiroro, where you can ski right from your accommodation. If you're planning to visit during the snowfall season, make sure to plan well in advance. You won't be disappointed, as it is incredibly beautiful.

Kiroro Snow World This is another valley full of snow. Here you have to take a cable car up to see the beauty of the mountaintop. And on top there is a bell of love. It is believed that if it is shaken, it will help expand the love. This is considered another popular skiing spot in Hokkaido. Anyone who comes during the snow season, I can tell you that it is extremely cold. #VisitHokkaido
