Festival days out of Sapporo often add the Ice Village at Hoshino Resorts Tomamu, an igloo town with a bar where even the glasses are ice. Expect plenty of driving between stops.
See Noboribetsu’s steaming Hell Valley, Lake Toya and a winter ice festival on a Sapporo day trip, with optional Toya snowmobiling.

Review this Sapporo winter day trip to Lake Shikotsu and Tomamu, with stop-by-stop timing, costs, guide details, and weather caveats.
★ 4.4“Large groups are more difficult to control, but the tour guide was very responsible and tried hard to manage the crowd! The ice sculpture exhibition is worth seeing, but unfortunately the stay time is too short. I don't think it's worth driving all the way…”
