How far above an ordinary night
In Sapporo, 8 of the 71 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +41%, on Saturday 21 November 2026.
| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |
|---|---|---|
| +30% or more | 2 | 3% |
| +15% to +29% | 6 | 8% |
| 0% to +14% | 23 | 32% |
| Below 0% | 40 | 56% |
| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.
The most expensive weekends (Friday + Saturday)

| Friday | Saturday | Friday median | Saturday median | Sum of the two medians |

| 20 November 2026 | 21 November 2026 | $92 | $150 | $242 |
A weekend is listed only when both its Friday and its Saturday night were measured; the sum adds two medians and is not the price of any one stay.

In Sapporo, the longest run of consecutive nights each 15% or more above nearby nights of its kind goes from 21 November 2026 to 22 November 2026 (2 nights), peaking at $150 on Saturday 21 November 2026.
| From | To | Nights | Highest median | Largest difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Events and holidays on measured nights

| Monday 23 November 2026 | Labor Thanksgiving Day | $60 | -13% | 71 of 71 |
An event or holiday is listed only where its night was measured and compared; an event found automatically also needs a source and a difference of at least +15%. The difference belongs to the night: it says what that night asked, not why.
