Takino Suzuran Hillside Park is the only national park in Hokkaido. 400 hectares (988 acres) of premises are divided into four zones - colorful flower gardens, a large playground, three waterfalls and a forest for hiking.
In winter, the name is changed to Takino Snow World and offers a variety of snow attractions.
There are six ski slopes at different levels from a 7-degree safe slope for children to the authentic one for experienced skiers.
The 200m-long tubing slope, snowshoeing in Takino’s forest, and other activities besides skiing are offered to entertain adults and children alike throughout the year.
