About this trip

Snow-Land at Sapporo Teine

Near North Maple on the Shirakaba slopes in the Olympia Zone, Snow-Land offers tubing, sledding and space to play in the snow. Families can enjoy Hokkaido’s winter scenery without skiing, with a moving walkway making the trip back up the play slope easier.

The Teine package uses the resort’s combination ticket, which includes a round-trip sightseeing gondola ride to the summit. Activities and gondola operation depend on snow, weather and operating conditions. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian, and each attraction’s safety requirements apply.

Snow Playground at Sapporo Kokusai

Enjoy Hokkaido’s winter scenery without joining a ski lesson. Play in the snow, take photos and spend an easygoing day with family or friends.

Sledding, tubing and more ways to play

Alongside sledding and tubing, options include handlebar sleds known as Snow Racers, snowshoeing and handlebar snowboards. Choose from the attractions available on the day.

Handlebar snowboards for families

Hold the bar and experience the feeling of gliding over snow. Ski and snowboard lessons are not included. Follow each attraction’s usage requirements and staff instructions.

An easier way back up the slope

A moving walkway helps you return up the play slope. Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Each attraction’s age, height and safety requirements apply, together with staff instructions.
