Places we planned but didn't go.

Hokkaido University Museum

It is temporarily closed for quakeproofing from April 2015 to July 2016. Its renewal open is scheduled in July 2016 with renewed exhibitions.

 Asahiyama Zoo

We planned for 2 trips to Asahiyama Zoo but cancelled one to go to another place, while the other trip was cancelled due to heavy snow. A day trip is recommended in Summer or Autumn but it is recommended to stay over during winter. 

I will add a post on this based on my previous trips.

Hobetsu Museum

It would be an interesting museum to visit as from what we saw, it was the exact location where they found dinosaur bones.  There is an indoor museum with an outdoor park where dinosaur displays are showed. The sad part is not much information could be found.

I will post more about this museum. 


Sapporo Science Center

Just when we were planning to go, there was an emergency closure due to suspect of leakage. By the time, they reopened, we were due to return home.

Others 

We cancelled all our ski day trips that we could visit in Sapporo city as children preferred playing snow than skiing or tubing. 

I have planned a trip for winter event in Tomamu but decided to cancel it as the snow amount was not that huge to be able to see the winter effect and also for the long 6 hours 2 way trip back and fro. I think I rather stay in Sapporo city for better winter experience.
