Best Time To Visit Sapporo
Sapporo winter is cold and snowy, as you might expect from a subarctic climate. If you’re going during this time of the year, pack plenty of layers, your sturdiest snow boots, and your best camera. The winter scenery in Hokkaido is one of the most impressive sights in the world. Hokkaido’s cherry blossoms begin to open in late April, but they usually reach their peak bloom in May. One of the best cherry blossom festivals to attend is the Matsumae Park Hanami Matsuri. The park has about 10,000 cherry trees in total, rivaling the beauty of Kyoto’s sakura season.
