Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort

For 1st timer experiences (no class) they are SUPER helpfull. The lady in the information centre have good english and willingly to suggest tracks for me and also help to get taxi for return. The guy in renting equipment was explaining the dos and dont and how to use the equipment. This is a good place for beginner. If ure an expert, the gondola will take you high to crazy top hill. I saw the track and its scary. Dont do it if ure 1st timer. Price is amazingly acceptable for indonesian.

Absolutely breathtaking place and my favorite snowboarding experience so far! We went on December 1st, on the 1st day they opened! We weren’t able to book a bus so we took a train from Sapporo to a stop along the route to Otaru and took a cab there which amounted to 8,000 yen 😭 but their ski pass was only 4800 yen and the equipment rental was 8000 yen which is way cheaper compared to snowboarding in America. We only did a half day pass and the resort closed around 3. Amazing views of the mountains and sea! Also nearer to us in Sapporo compared to Niseko.

Great day activity! The slopes are easy to learn if you’re a beginner. I ended up renting gear and it was an easy process. I would come back again!

Nice Ski Resort, slightly far from Sapporo(near Otaru). Suitable for beginners, not really hard if you ady had experience. It has amazing view from top of the mountain. Lots of foreigners and had multiple choices in restaurant. Follow klook day tour if u don’t want to plan anything. Just meet at pick up point will do.

One of my favorite ski resort in Hokkaido. Most guests are local Japanese skiers, not so many people, good restaurant with reasonable price, good snow conditions, not a big resort but it has everything good enough.

The beginner terrain is excellent. Advanced terrain is good. But the peak of Kokusai is it's easy access back country. The gated area is incredible and has some awesome quick tour routes to get make your run that but longer and more incredible. Downsides - getting out from the gated area is a huge traverse, snowboarders beware. A few river crossings included. If you drop too far it's very easy to get stuck and have to fight your way out. Hire a guide and be ready for hard work but incredible snow.

Good view and facilities , but the rental process can be quite messy during peak hour, bankei seems to be better for rental process. Beginner slope is not so safe for beginner or even first timer, so plan properly ahead. Its true one may need 2 hours from arrival till go out to play ski.

Brand newly open place which currently, even during busy Sunday, wasn’t overcrowded at all. Cool design with slightly higher prices than the Kokusai Ski Resort restaurant, however cool indoor space, with semi outdoor terrace m, overlooking part of the slope are really modern and cool looking. Food was above average with limited choices, but very nice presentations and very tasty.
