I admit that I came here to see the view of Sapporo. I went at the evening and the view was amazing. It was really cold as it snowed briefly in the day. There was ice and snow on the ground.
It take two cable cars to get to the top. The first cable car was smooth but the second was kind of rocky. Just to let you know if you choose to go to the top.
I do implore you to go as the view is spectacular.
Be cognizant of the time the cable cars arrive if you have to be down from the mountain to meet your ride.
A quiet and pretty place to be at. For our experience, we did not have anyone rushing or fighting space with us.
Probably it was a weekday but all in all, d experience was definitely surreal. We had a great time chilling away, enjoying the snow. There is an outdoor area that you can walk around too without the hassle of control.
We were free to roam and visit places around the station. From outside to inside and more. We had a blast taking photos everywhere.
The shop also had many different types of souvenirs. Do take ur time shopping around ya.
Cheers!!
