Useful Information

Hokkaido Travel Guide
Hokkaido (北海道, Hokkaidō) is the second largest, northernmost and least developed of Japan's four main islands. Its weather is harsh in winter with lots of snowfall, below zero temperatures and frozen seas, while in summer it does not get as hot and humid as in the other parts of the country. With its unspoiled nature, Hokkaido attracts many outdoor lovers, including skiers and snowboarders in the colder seasons and hikers, cyclists and campers from June to September.

Climate: 17- 25 deg. Celsius, 81 mm rainfall / July
Electricity: 100V, plug type A (same as in the US)
Currency: JPY (yen)
Tipping: no need
Time zone: GMT+9
Security: Sapporo is a safe city; in terms of security it is comparable to other European capitals.
Smoking: Smoking is prohibited at the venue and public transportation as well as most of pubs and restaurants unless they have separate rooms for smokers.
