Hi, would like to know whether it is advisable to stay in The Stay Sapporo Hostel where the nearest subway(Shiseikanshogakko-Mae) is 8mins walk away and we intend to lug our luggage there. Will there be any problem lugging luggage in snow(sorry, first time going for a snow winter trip)?
For winter activities, e.g snowboarding/skiing/tubing/luging, will it be better to take the package for Niseko/Tomamu/Sahoro or to go one of their parks like Takino Suzuran Park? Is the experience around the same?

I recomemded you Sapporo Kokusai 札幌国際スキー場スキーセンター I will be going end of February.. So, it will be better to take bus from CTS Airport? Thanks for the recommendation. |

Hi,
I am deciding between staying in Untapped Hostel 1 to 2 mins from Kitajuhachijo Station and Apartment 5 mins from Minamihiragashi Station(cheaper by half the price compared to Untapped Hostel).
Would like to know whether lugging luggage for extra few mins would make a difference in Feb snow as we will be wearing normal sports shoes?
Thanks.

Sapporo snow must wear Boots higher than your leg ankle to prevent snow goes into your toe.  See how deep was the snow. If wear Sport shoes sure ''Potong Kaki'' So, if i get snow boots, both places would be the same in case of lugging luggage? Looks like a hassle if i were to stay 5 mins away... |

Make sure your Luggage was waterproof Do u reckon getting those boots like the ones worn by Phua Chu Kang is okay to replace winter boots? Haha. Just trying to save some cost as going for a budget trip. |
