Recommended hotels in Sapporo Yamahana
Mercure Sapporo is a great option for fitness travelers. This 4-star hotel is in the middle of a shopping and entertainment area; Susukino. The gym room is not huge, but it is decent and hotel guests can use it for free. Please note that most hotels with gyms in the Sapporo main area do not have a spacious gym room (very small).
Ibis Styles Sapporo is located at the end of the entertainment area, Susukino. For fitness travelers, this 3 star hotel has a good gym room, and also it is close to Nakajima Park where you can enjoy jogging etc.. Convenience store on the grand floor is very useful ! It is also only 4 min walk to a newly opened Powerhouse Gym Sapporo.
