🟦 Why Is This Route Worth Paying Attention To?
1. A New Choice for Southern Travelers
For Kaohsiung travelers, finally no more heading north to Taipei for a direct flight to Hokkaido! Taiwan Tiger’s new route saves southern Taiwan passengers on high-speed rail, accommodation, and time costs—bringing Sapporo’s snowy fairytale one step closer.
2. Hokkaido Winter Scenery Awaits You
Launching in January, perfectly timed with Hokkaido’s snow festivals and ski season. Sapporo’s snowy landscapes, Noboribetsu hot springs, and Asahikawa Zoo are all must-see winter checkpoints—especially great for families and friend groups heading out together.
3. Taiwan Tiger Expands International Routes
This is Taiwan Tiger’s 11th international route departing from Kaohsiung. As a key low-cost carrier in the south, Taiwan Tiger has been steadily expanding Kaohsiung destinations, and now adding Hokkaido to its portfolio definitely deserves applause 👏!
4. Thoughtfully Designed Flight Times
Depart in the morning, arrive in Sapporo in the afternoon; return in the afternoon, back in Kaohsiung by evening. No all-nighters and no wasted daylight—for time-conscious travelers, it’s practically perfect!
🟩 Rational Travel’s Guide: Must-Do Winter Hokkaido List
1. Sapporo Snow Festival
This world-renowned festival held every February in Sapporo Odori Park features massive ice sculptures that will leave you in awe! Bundle up—there’s also an evening light show.
2. Noboribetsu Onsen
Cold weather calls for hot springs! Noboribetsu’s sulfurous waters earned the nickname “Hell Valley” (Jigokudani)—soak while taking in the volcanic atmosphere.

For ski enthusiasts, Hokkaido’s powder snow is a world-class dream experience. Niseko’s slopes cater to both beginners and pros—challenge yourself and push your limits.
4. Otaru Canal
Snow-blanketed Otaru Canal looks like a scene straight out of Europe—whether you boat or stroll along the waterside, you’ll feel the quiet charm of this charming town.
