Additionally, the long daylight hours provide ample opportunity to soak in the lush green surroundings and the picturesque cityscape of Sapporo stretched out below.
For those who are captivated by winter wonderlands, late autumn to winter (November to February) is a magnificent time to visit Mount Moiwa. The area becomes a snowy paradise, offering visitors breathtaking icy landscapes and a chance to witness the infamous Sapporo snow festivals. Winter sports enthusiasts can enjoy skiing, while others might prefer the unique experience of night-time illumination against the snow-covered mountain. Keep in mind that the temperatures can get extremely cold, so it's essential to dress accordingly.
