Sapporo’s four-season weather

Sapporo City is a metropolitan city located in the central region of Hokkaido, Japan. It is the fifth most populous city in Japan [1] and is also one of Japan's designated cities by government decree. Since Sapporo City is the seat of the Hokkaido Government (Provincial Office) and the Ishikari Branch Office, it has also become the administrative center of Hokkaido. January, when the Great Cold Season begins, is the coldest period of the year in Sapporo. The lowest temperature of minus 23.9 degrees was observed on January 18, 1945. When traveling to Sapporo during this period, you will need cold-weather clothing such as a sweater or a coat. Additionally, a hat or snowshoes are required. People who are afraid of the cold are best to bring heating coals. No matter what, I hope to take foolproof measures to prevent the cold. Steaming noodles and hot pot are also delicacies that warm the body and mind. In April, the Hokkaido University Botanical Garden, Nishioka Park, and the Kannon lotus around Jozankei are places worth seeing. It's finally starting to feel warmer, but you can still enjoy spring skiing in the mountains. From this period onwards you can change your coat to a light coat. As we enter the second half of Golden Week, corn sales begin in Odori Park, and fountains start spraying water. The entire streets of Sapporo are given a romantic spring color. August On August 7, 1994, Sapporo City recorded the highest temperature in the observation history of 36.2 degrees. Because of the continuous heat, beer, ice cream, watermelon, cantaloupe, etc. are even more delicious. After around August 15th, it will be cool in the morning and evening. Sea bathing can be enjoyed until mid-term. When traveling to Sapporo during this period, in addition to summer clothing, please bring a sweater. December is the most exciting season for the earth. If it is the best season for traveling, then it is winter when Sapporo is covered in silver. The seven-story stove covered in snow, Meiji Western-style buildings, trees covered with frost, and streets that look like candy canes. Ski resorts in the suburbs are also opening one after another, and winter has officially begun. We recommend that you take a regular sightseeing bus and see Sapporo in the snow from the car. Being able to enjoy a white Christmas is also a specialty of Sapporo. Due to the word limit, I cannot describe them all. This is the Sapporo sightseeing guide I found. You can refer to it.
