Wonderland Sapporo
(Snowmobile Land Sapporo)

No license is required. The four basic items you need are ski wear, gloves, boots, and a helmet. Only a camera, tissues, and drinks may be brought onto the course. To help preserve this precious natural environment for future generations, guests are asked to carry only the bare essentials.

Anyone in good health should have no difficulty. Athletic ability and previous driving experience do not matter. Before heading onto the mountain course, you will have time to practice on level ground, so anyone can learn to operate a snowmobile with ease.
Guests may operate a snowmobile provided they have no impairments affecting their mental or physical condition, limbs, or vision. It may also be possible to join a tour by riding with a guide, either as a pair or as a group of three consisting of the guide, the guest, and a guardian. Please contact the facility for details.

You will not encounter bears. However, the snowmobile course passes through an area where bears are frequently seen in summer, which gives you an idea of how deep into the mountains the tour goes. If you are lucky, you may see long-tailed tits, Ezo deer, foxes, rabbits, Ezo squirrels, weasels, raccoon dogs, Blackiston’s woodpeckers, and other wildlife.

There have been no incidents involving stranded guests or avalanches during the past 32 years. The course is inspected for safety three times a day and groomed at night using a snowcat. Every possible precaution is taken to ensure guest safety.
Guides continuously monitor the weather while leading guests. They are trained to respond to sudden severe weather, such as by taking a detour along the base of the mountain. They also receive real-time updates from other guides and will close courses or take other necessary measures depending on conditions.
Tours will operate during blizzards, heavy snow, or heavy rain as long as the course remains safe, but the final decision to participate is up to each guest.
If conditions are expected to make the tour excessively difficult, the facility will recommend postponing it.

Yes, if space is available. However, the tours may be fully booked when you arrive, potentially resulting in a considerable wait. To avoid disappointment, it is recommended that you first submit an inquiry through the form.
