Leaves walk

As it is Koyou (leaves changing colour) season a very nice walk would be through the Hokkaido University campus. It's located very close to the main Sapporo Station.

Also, Otaru nearby has a nice canal that you can walk along and one of the best Japanese beers in Japan (in my opinion), Otaru Beer.

Have a good time!

I will be in Sapporo for 5 days over Christmas.
I would like to do skiing for one day. There is different ski resorts around Sapporo but which one is the most convenient with other activities like spa?

Moreover, I would like to invite my friend to a nice japanese restaurant on Dec24. Do you have any recommendations? I do not mind if it is ramen, shabu, etc.

Any other tips?

Thanks in advance!

Rusutsu ski resort

I recommend Rusutsu ski resort for the one day. They have great terrain and its big. They also have a hotspring at the resort and a hotel with bars if you want to relax after skiing.

Theres also a free bus that takes you to and from the resort from Sapporo.

For restaurants, I think eating soup curry is perfect in the winter. check out this link for soup curry restaurants around Sapporo.
