Ezorisu 0 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Chisun is Minami (South) 5, so that's a 5-block walk up to Odori-koen where the snow festival preparations are taking place... That's like an unencumbered 15-minute walk in summer, so maybe 20 to 30 minutes in winter. There's lots of things to see along the way though, so it will be interesting nonetheless.

A&A 0 Posted January 15, 2011 Author Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks all for the advice. My frens asked me to try outdoor onsens under the snow. Is there any onsen hotel or maybe just outdoor onsens to recommend in Sapporo city or which is better, in tokyo or sapporo? I am thinking of staying in an onsen hotel instead in sapporo if they are cheap or if not reasonable priced? (not 4 or 5 stars kind) Link to post Share on other sites

The main nearby onsen resort area to Sapporo is Jozankei. It's easy to get to. Check details at this site http://www.jyozankei.com/english/ Link to post Share on other sites
Greenroome 0 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Originally Posted By: cal Wow thats interesting. Tons of scaffolding etc - that making one of the big sculptures? Yep. It's very interesting. I spent a fair bit of time on lunch breaks and after work watching the army guys trucking in the snow and working it into shape. A note to you all - don't go to war with Hokkaido. They will encase you in five storeys of sweet pow before you have time to clean your rifle. Originally Posted By: thursday nice one greenie, nice to hear from you. Where are you now? Thanks Thursday but I'd rather not say. Things got pretty out of shape after I ran up some huge debts at Ezy's card games down on the docks in Otaru. His goons play hard. Suffice to say I'm warm, catching fish and regularly in the green roome. Link to post Share on other sites
