Sapporo has the most dangerous sidewalks in Japan. The weather is such that the snow melts and freezes into 5 inch thick sheets of ice. Residents wear spikes on their shoes. Curiously, they don't use salt to clear the sidewalks. Instead, there are boxes placed at major corners where you can pick up a small bag of gravel to sprinkle in front of you as you walk. I think I was in more danger of injuring myself walking down the street than on the ski slopes.
