Tomakomai is the other cruise option for the Sapporo area, on Hokkaido's south coast about 70 minutes from the city. The port itself is industrial, so nearly every passenger moves quickly to excursions — Sapporo for Odori Park and TV Tower, Noboribetsu's hot springs and Hell Valley, or Lake Shikotsu for crater-lake scenery. Utonai-ko wetland is a notable bird-watching stop locally. New Chitose Airport is 30 minutes away.
