We have a lot of snow in winter here in Hokkaido. The snow falls in Hokkaido is powder snow which is said ideal for skiing and snowboarding.
In Otaru, there are three skiing grounds blessed with such quality snow. The point which makes Otaru's skiing grounds really unique is that all these skiing grounds overlook the sea, which means that you can have a panoramic view of Ishikari Bay while enjoying skiing. Otaru must be one of the rare places in the world where you can experience skiing with the view of the sea.
Please try skiing when you visit Otaru. Rental skiing outfit is available at any of these skiing grounds.
