Tsudome — Local services in Sapporo

Super super fun!!! Fun snow slides for those aged both young and old! Many cute snow sculptures including a pikachu! U can also carve your own ice sculptures out of ice. They also provide magnifying glasses for u to observe the snowflakes but u cannot really see anything. Besides the snow slides, there is also a snow play area where u can make snowballs to throw at targets. Inside, there are many inflated play areas as well as a giant inflated slide!! This slide is not for the weak hearted and is extremely terrifying, trust me. All indoor rides cost a certain number of tickets ranging from 1 to 5. 1 ticket costs 100 yen. There is also food sold in the indoor area, such as ramen. I would personally recommend taking a bus here. Trust me u will not regret coming here. It is an amazing, fun and unforgettable place. Definitely must-bring for your children. If come to sapporo, dont miss this wonderful place. This is all from personal experience. Trust me....

Visited during the recent Sapporo Snow Festival in February 2025. Took a shuttle bus from the subway station for 200 yen, arriving at a lively outdoor snow experience that was free for all. There were snow slides for everyone, with the longest one requiring a ticket due to long queues, but still free of charge. Plenty of activities were available, especially for children, including ice carving and snowman making. Snow rafting was also an option, priced at 1,000 yen for adults and 600 yen for kids (see image). Inside the dome, a food extravaganza awaited, along with various...
