Best Things to do in Hokkaido in the Winter

Hokkaido, located all the way up in the north of Japan is the coldest place in Japan you can visit. For this reason, it is a popular skiing destination with not only the Japanese but foreign travellers as well thanks to heavy snow fall in the winters and gorgeous ski resorts.
The highlight of the winter in Hokkaido is  without a doubt the famous Sapporo Snow Festival that is  well known for displaying many breathtaking ice sculptures. Make sure to pay a visit to Hokkaido when visiting Japan during the winter!
