Ski Resort in Sapporo
Niseko is too far ? lost in the bushes ?Boring beyond reason ? …
Why go so far when you have all what you need in Sapporo city it self !
Yes, what ever people say about the snow quality in Niseko, it is really no as fantastic as the north of Hokkaido in place like Furano or above where temperature sometime drop around – 34 degree celcius…
