Celia Grace NachuraSeasons change, but Sapporo never gets old. The capital of Hokkaido, is one of Japan’s most beautiful year-round destinations, with cherry blossoms in spring, summer foodie festivals, and vibrant autumn foliage. Come winter, the urban landscape transforms into a snowy wonderland; the world-famous Sapporo Snow Festival is definitely not to be missed! Skiing and other winter sports promise nonstop thrills for daredevils, with ski resorts within easy driving distance of the downtown area. Fun fact: Sapporo actually hosted the 1972 Winter Olympic Games!
If you want to pack as much sightseeing and adventure into your Hokkaido getaway, you’ll want a Sapporo Airbnb that keeps you close to the action. Alternatively, some travellers prefer a quiet base a bit removed from the tourist circuit. Either way, we’ve got you! Check out this list of the best Airbnb homes in Sapporo you’ll want to book.
