Why not kabuki-cho? Happening what. Based on all feedbacks from the internet and lonyly planet guide, its safe la. Most of the 'happenings' there are off-limits to foreigners anyway.

Nope... just a usual Japanese company.

I was there sometime ago in early April and there was still some snow but not too good for skiing because it was very wet and slushy. Go as early as you can; you'll definitely SEE some snow.

Sapporo's an interesting city just to wander around in winter. Nice numbered streets in square blocks like USA. Great tourist service centre. If no personal objections, don't miss the beer museum for free flow (with snacks too!) Have a good trip.

Winter season from November till February....March ending season...the best time to visit Sapporo from December,January and February only.
