Kuriyama accommodation from NZ$71

But of course, you'd be mad to visit Kuriyama and not see the Historical Museum of Hokkaido. The Hotel Emisia Sapporo and Shin-Sapporo ARC City Hotel are convenient options for visitors as they are within walking distance from Historical Museum of Hokkaido.

30 kilometres away from the middle of Kuriyama is the Hotel Route-Inn Chitose Ekimae. Alternatively, the Hotel Wing International Chitose is 30 kilometres away. More places to stay around this area are the Hotel Livemax Chitose and the Chitose Airport Hotel.

The wider Hokkaido region is definitely well worth seeing also. Hokkaido is marked by coastal plains, forests, rivers and lakes. Popular Hokkaido visitor draws are the traditional villages and old towns. Fun-loving tourists might also try their hand at snowboarding in this part of Japan.

Looking for more to do? Spend some time enjoying the Clock Tower, Hokkaido University and Hidamari, which you'll find in Sapporo, 40 kilometres to the west of Kuriyama. The Hotel Route Inn Sapporo Ekimae Kitaguchi and Hotel Keihan Sapporo are just some of the great apartment and hotel alternatives in Sapporo. Or, you could stay in Asahikawa, 90 kilometres to the northeast of Kuriyama, where you can pick from the Fujita Kanko Washington Hotel Asahikawa and Loisir Hotel Asahikawa. The Asahiyama Zoo and Asahikawa Museum of Sculpture are just some of the more popular places to explore while in Asahikawa.

Mad about sport? Enjoy your obsession by visiting Sapporo Dome, 40 kilometres to the west of Kuriyama. The Ascent Inn Sapporo and the Renaissance Sapporo Hotel are near the action.
