Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 223 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.

The central green strip, the snow festival site, halfway to everything.
Nightlife and ramen alleys, the liveliest and cheapest rooms.
Quiet, south of Susukino, residential and green.
Rooms within walking distance of what you actually came for.
