The white season at Takino Suzuran Hillside National Government Park in Sapporo is coming to a close. Takino Snow World is scheduled to finish its FY2025 season on Tuesday, March 31. Warmer-than-usual temperatures this year have accelerated snowmelt, but conditions remain suitable for snow play through to the final day. Note that some facilities may become unavailable due to rising temperatures.

The surrounding forest floor is dotted with smaller wildflowers, making for a pleasant woodland stroll.
