Sapporo is good for a stop-over for a couple of days on the way to or from a Hokkaido ski holiday. It’s also OK as a base to explore some of the ski resorts near the city.

Beyond that though, Sapporo doesn’t have much to offer as a holiday destination. The restaurants and nightlife are interesting, but tourist activities are somewhat limited unless you’re there during the Sapporo snow festival. The festival is fantastic and worth visiting for a day.
