Sapporo Kokusai

A ski area in the south of Sapporo, in the Jozankei area, about an hour by car from the city centre. You get there on ski buses from Sapporo, and they run by advance booking: the resort says to book the return trip too, or you may be left without a seat. An adult 1-day ticket for the 2026-27 season costs ¥7,000 at the counter and ¥6,700 online (until 31 March 2027), plus a ¥500 deposit on the IC card, refunded when you return it. The season is planned from 20 November 2026 to 5 May 2027, and in April the 1-day ticket drops to ¥6,500. The main bus line also stops at Jozankei Onsen, so you can combine a ski day with a night at the onsen.
