Established in the early post-war years, Bankei emerged as a community-focused ski area, offering accessible skiing for residents of Sapporo.
The resort gained popularity for its convenient location, a mere 20 minutes from central Sapporo (Sapporo Station), making it a favorite for families, beginners, and night-skiing enthusiasts. Over the decades, Bankei evolved to include modern facilities, snowmaking systems, and a variety of runs to accommodate skiers and snowboarders of all levels.
For those guests wanting ski lessons, BanKei features a dedicated ski school with certified instructors available for private or group lessons. English-speaking instructors are also on hand to assist international visitors, ensuring a supportive learning environment for all guests.
Sapporo Bankei offers rental services for high-quality ski equipment, including snowwear, accommodating visitors who may not have their own gear. The resort provides cozy cafés and restaurants, such as the "Panke" dining space located at the center lodge and "Bankeien" near the west lift station, where guests can relax and enjoy meals or hot beverages between skiing sessions. Your guide will point these out and make recommendations.
