This is a worthwhile trip to travel to the top of the ski jump and tour the Olympic museum. I found the whole venue very entertaining. Great to do on a clear day, looking down on Sapporo city.
Museum is open year-round. In winter (Dec–Feb), visit mornings to avoid crowding. In spring–autumn, combine with Okurayama Lift for city views.
