Great ski slope within arm's reach of Sapporo. There aren't many runs, but they were fast and groomed on the day I went. It's also cheap as is the cafeteria food (compared to other ski resorts). Good for a day trip if you're tired of, or can't get to, the bigger resorts

easy to reach from sapporo station. it offers shuttle to nanboku line. less than an hour is enough to get here. there are only few slopes but degree is enough for medium to high level skiers. fees are reasonable and restaurant inside is also not bad. overall best ski spot to enjoy ski daily around sapporo.
