Showa Shinzan Bear Ranch is 79% Solo-Friendly
Solo travelers can spend 1–2 h photographing 100 Hokkaido brown bears, enjoy the human-cage view, and wander freely for ¥1,000, but sparse English signs and stark concrete pens reduce depth.

Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill is 79% Solo-Friendly
A solo visitor gets cheap entry, panoramic photos, free snow park gear, museum time, and tube sled thrills, but the site is small and may feel done in an hour, so it rates high but not perfect.
Recommended visit duration: 1-2 hours
