It's a magical city, probably my favorite of the Japanese cities I've been to. I went for the snow festival last year and during a normal week several years ago. During the festival there are quite a few tourists, but still far less than in Tokyo/Osaka etc and being so far north half of the "tourists" are Japanese from farther South. It's a sight to behold. I also spent a lot of time wandering outside of the city center looking for cool games and old tech, grabbing beers or food or shopping wherever looked nice. It's so peaceful to just stroll through the snow.
