Trip Moment Recommendations
Sapporo citizens come to Maruyama Park to relax. The park is particularly popular in May for cherry blossom viewing and June for the Hokkaido Shrine Festival. Originally created as a part of the Hokkaido Development Commission’s layout plan and testing ground for trees during the Meiji Period, it was developed into a park starting at the end of the Meiji Period. Its expansive grounds include the Maruyama Wild Forest, a designated natural treasure, as well as numerous sports facilities such as a public field, baseball stadium, and baseball diamond. Adjacent to Hokkaido Shrine and Maruyama Zoo, the park plays a central role in Sapporo’s recreational and athletic culture. Its past as a testing ground for trees is apparent in cedar forests and large katsura trees. Many squirrels, wild birds, and plants can also be seen in the park. #wintergetaway

It's snowy winter all over the world, why should we go to Hokkaido!
❄️ Because of the snow in Hokkaido, you look forward to it, it will come. The maritime climate nourishes Hokkaido all year round, and when it cools down, the continuous heavy snow falls.
❄️ Because the snow in Hokkaido contains 95% of the air, it is very clean. It can sweep away all the dust in the world, together with the bad mood of the whole year; the blue sky and the streets after the snow are clear, and the air is pure and fresh.

Sapporo Clock tower in Hokkaido, Japan is the oldest clock tower in Japan. Here, we can enjoy the unique architectural of the building and see the museum that tells a history of the clock tower. I think it is worth to go. Interesting place. #wintergetaway
#wintergetaway
Hokkaido Shrine in Japan is quite memorable visit for me. The architecture design of the shrine is pretty unique and interesting. The air and weather are also fresh and natural. I certainly will return here. Amazing experience. #wintergetaway

We actually didn't take a bath inside. We were just around the area, taking pictures. But I heard from people that it is nice there, with lots of sauna and hot spring options. The only thing that I can say is that, the view is pretty, and you might think that those waters are cold but nope, they are boiling hot. There is also a Jozankei Shrine near the area.
#wintergetaway
This shrine might not be as extravagant and huge as the Fushimi Inari Shrine of Kyoto, it is still gorgeous, especially with the view in Snow. Also, there is no entrance fee in this shrine, and people just come and go to see these legendary torii gates. It was built in 1884, and is located in Chuo-ku, Sapporo.

Shiroi Koibito is one of my favorite snacks, even when I was still living in Cebu. I would be very happy when our Japanese clients bring us some Shiroi Koibito omiyage. So, when we went to Sapporo, I really requested my friends that we go to the Shiroi Koibito Park. IT WAS SUCH A GREAT TOUR! I loved it a loy. There were a lot going in during the tour, there were great foods, in short, it was such a great day spent.
#wintergetaway
I was not really into Zoos but my friends said that since were already in Maruyama, why not go to Maruyama Zoo. So after we visited Hokkaido Shrine, which was just located nearby, we went directly to Maruyama Zoo. There a lot of animals there. It was my first time seeing sheep and a Polar Beer. I was really surprised and happy at the same time.
#wintergetaway
This gorgeous Shinto Shrine is located in Chuo-ku, Sapporo. This shrine is said to have enshrined 4 Shinto deities. It was snowing so hard when we were there so I was not able to enjoy the surroundings a lot. I was not even able to the cleansing ritual of the shrines because of the cold. So, I decided to not go near it. I just watched people come and go. Nonetheless, here are some snowy photos for you.
#wintergetaway
This place is very gorgeous! I loved the whole experience going there. They provide a cable car to bring everyone to the top. And the top is very pretty. It provides a great viewpoint of Sapporo City. For me, it is best to go there during Winter because the view is prettier with the snow. Also, I'm not sure which is prettier but I loved the experience of going there at night. The view of the city lights are just absolutely gorgeous!
#wintergetaway
Since this building allows visitors to enter for free, of course, I went in. It is such a huge place with function rooms, souvenir shops, information office, and exhibition rooms inside. They say that this place is prettiest during Spring and Summer when the garden outside blooms with colorful flowers. When I went there, it was Winter so everything was filled with Snow. They also have a pond! But, yes, when I was there it was icy.

Looking for a famous seafood restaurant in Sapporo? It is the Hokkaido Kani-Shogun at Susukinu. The food here is excellent and I suggest you to order a set to get a taste of everything. A sake drink will be the best partner. #wintergetaway

Dormy Inn Sapporo ANNEX at Tanukikoji Shopping Street is one of my favorite hotels in Sapporo. Though the rooms are small, it is typical in Japan. What I love here is the awesome breakfast. So many available options plus the best 24 hour spa ever. #wintergetaway
#wintergetaway
Tanukikoji Shopping Street is located in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. Its a very long covered shopping street many for souvenir shops, restaurants, clothing, medicine, and even groceries. You can definitely buy anything you need here. Its a must place to explore. #wintergetaway

Susukino's main street is the prime hub for fun and activities in the central Sapporo. What I love about this place is that everything is in this area from the best noodles, to seafood, to shops, and a lot more. This is necessary place to visit whuile in Sapporo. #wintergetaway

Sapporo Clock Tower is one of the attractions in the city. I like how they preserve this old historic agricultural college. The staff workers here are very friendly and accommodating. Several restaurants around the clock tower too. Great place to take photos as well. #wintergetaway
#wintergetaway
There is no chance that we will miss this must-see location in Sapporo; the Sapporo Clock Tower. It is said to have been constructed last 1881 when Sapporo was still in its early development. I really love old stuff like this. Makes me happy seeing all of these buildings survive through the years. It is just in walking distance from JR Sapporo Sapporo Station and Odori Park.
#wintergetaway
Nobody should be in Sapporo in a Winter and not Ski. If you are there in Winter, it is a must to Ski in Sapporo International Ski Resort. We did, of course! Skiing might not be easy, but it is a must-try experience, especially in Sapporo, or anywhere in Hokkaido. This Ski Resort is open daily, so no problem schedule-wise.

Sapporo has the most famous beer in Japan. They also have a branch in Sakae, Nagoya that is why I know of them. But, when we went to Sapporo, we made sure that we visit Sapporo Beer Garden, sometimes called Sapporo Bier Garten. Who wouldn't want to taste a beer fresh from their main branch, right?
#wintergetaway
Sapporo TV Tower in daylight when we passed by it going shopping and at night, with its night lights, as we passed by it returning to our hotel. Another significant TV Tower in Japan, Sapporo TV Tower has a huge digital clock on display. Very helpful use of the tower. Nagoya TV Tower should also do the same. Haha!

SAPPORO SNOW FESTIVAL ❄️
I was there last year 2019. It was my first Snow Festival ever, and it was so much fun. The talent of these people in creating Snow statues is outstanding. Their Snow statues are absolutely out of this world, from buildings, human, and animals forms, their statues are just mesmerizing. It is a festival for kids and adults alike. Usually happens on February.
#wintergetaway
Sapporo Snow Festival is a popular event and top attraction on winter to both locals and tourist. Seeing the snow with the gigantic ice scuptures is really an amazing unforgetable experience. This festival is worth to visit on February. #wintergetaway

Sapporo is THE best winter destination for me. The place is more laid-back, peaceful and just beautiful! if you love snow, then this is the pace to be in Asia! My boyfriend and I visited this winter wonderland last December 2019 and the experience was really one for the books. Playing in the snow brought back a lot of childhood dreams as Philippines is not a four-season country. It is every Filipinos’ dream as a child to experience and play in/with snow. Sapporo is indeed a magical city. A must-place to visit in Japan. Less hassle, more dazzle! #sapporo #hokkaido #hokkaidotravel #winterwonderland #winterdestination
