There's a famous restaurant called Junsei nearby that serves yudofu. Great spot to try authentic Kyoto cuisine.

Akanko Onsen
Lake Akan is known as a natural habitat of marimo, a Special Natural Monument of Japan. On its lakeshore sits Akanko Onsen, the leading hot spring resort area in eastern Hokkaido with a history of over 100 years. A hot spring town stretches along the shore of Lake Akan, lined with around 20 ryokan, hotels, and guesthouses. Many hot spring facilities face the lake, and their location is outstanding, offering panoramic views of Lake Akan and Mt. Oakan from the baths and guest rooms.
Lake Akan is seriously gorgeous! The surface of the lake is so still it looks like a mirror, and paired with the hot spring, it feels like paradise.

Sapporo Snow Festival
Ranked as one of the world's top three snow festivals, the Sapporo Snow Festival is a coveted winter extravaganza held every February in Sapporo, Hokkaido. The even kicked off in 1950 when local middle and high school students created snow sculptures in Odori Park. The event has since grown into a massive festival that draws some two million visitors from around the world each year.
There are so many visitors, especially on weekends—it gets really crowded. But it's still worth checking out since it only happens once a year.
