Visitor Reviews of Snow Cruise Onze
- Sue from United States writes:
Snow Cruise Onze (Snow Clues Onze) is not a huge ski resort but if you want to enjoy skiing for a half day, it will be a good place to go. This place is located just between Otaru city and Sapporo city. There is a free shuttle bus from a train station called Zenibako station. This place is good for all levels of skiers include kids. They are open untill 11pm so we enjoyed night skiing. Night skiing tickets (4hrs including one dinner dish) were 2400 yen. They also have a rental equipment center there. The night view from the top of the mountain was gorgeous. I heard that during the day you can see the entire Japanese ocean coast which is also very beautiful.
