We decided not to go to those expensive ski resort in Niseko as both of us not a fan of skiing. So we decided to go to Takino Suzuran Park which is free entrance with free Tube sled <Sled Slope>!
And there are a lots of winter activities you can do in the park and mostly there are free!
Except for Ski at minimal fees : ski rental -2570 yen +4 hr slope lift ticket 1030 yen.
Totally worth a visit to the park.
