Takino Snow World Family Ski Resort — Attraction in Sapporo

My 2025 ski trip to Sapporo/Takino SnowWorld has been a big disappointment so far, mainly due to the cross country ski trails being neglected. I have been coming to Takino for many years and have previously enjoyed skiing on well-maintained trails with the snow being compacted by Pistenbully and snowmobile machines. But this year, trail maintenance by Takino staff is non-existent . Snowfall this year is lower than previous years, at slightly more than 30cm (as of 18 January 2025), so there is plenty of snow to have decent skiing, yet only the 3k loop and training oval are available for use, all of the other trails are closed.

Park closes at 3:30 pm and the last 106 bus will leave around 4:10 pm, so queue up early for the last bus or else you will miss it !! There were (2) 106 bus waiting since there were a lot of people who will travel back to...

A good place for cross country ski. Only skate trails (at least in 29 jan 2025), no classic. There is at least 3km, 6 and a longer track, suitable for beginners to advanced. Because of very little snow in winter 2025 only 3 and 6 were open. Good facilites, toilet, locker/changing room and a restaurant (with inside space for eating your own food). Also a beginner alpine slope, and a tube sleigh for kids. Cross country and alpine ski rental available. All in all a nice place to spend...
