Top Experiences & Travel Essentials in Sapporo

Sapporo is located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, and stands out with its grid-like city layout and Western-style architecture, which is a legacy of 19th-century urban planning during the Meiji era. Sapporo knows how to do winter right. When the snow falls, ski resorts buzz to life and the Sapporo Snow Festival turns downtown into a glowing world of ice and creativity. Some of the best things to do in Sapporo include catching sweeping views from the Sapporo TV Tower, strolling through Odori Park, and, of course, sipping a cold glass of Sapporo beer, brewed right where it all began.

Reviews: Hokkaido + Asahiyama Zoo + Ningle Terrace + Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) + Shirahige Waterfall 1-day tour
Guest User2026-04-12
It was such a wonderful day trip to Hokkaido, so relaxing and enjoyable throughout. The best part was seeing such beautiful snow scenery at the end of March, which was truly amazing for us southerners.
Reviews: Hokkaido classic 1-day tour: Asahiyama zoo + Shirahige waterfall + Shirogane blue pond (Aoiike) + Forest elf terrace

The itinerary was well-planned, and our tour guide, Bingbing, was incredibly kind. At the Asahikawa Zoo stop, she personally led us to the penguin parade area, where we found a great viewing spot. Along the way, she also recommended other attractions and local delicacies. The weather was fantastic today, and we visited all the attractions, plus the tour guide gave us 5 to 10 minutes more time than usual. We enjoyed local cuisine and bought some souvenirs we liked. So happy! 😃

We were staying in in Asahikawa and our tour guide Rii was wonderful in facilitating us being able to join and leave the tour . She was very helpful throughout the trip and was definitely one of the highlights in our booking.
Reviews: Japan KDDI 5G eSIM | Up to 100GB high-speed data per day | Supports TikTok & ChatGPT | No physical SIM required · Hotspot supported | 3–30 days available | Daily data plan | Calendar-day billing | QR Code setup
Guest User2026-04-25
This is my minimalist eSIM experience during my trip to Japan: * **Installation:** Simply scan the QR code before departure to complete the setup. After landing, turn off airplane mode and connect instantly. No need to manually insert the SIM card ejector tool – pure elegance! * **Network Speed:** Using the native network, the signal was consistently strong, whether browsing maps in Tokyo or navigating while driving in Okinawa. Low latency made searching for information very smooth. * **Advantages:** It allows you to retain your Taiwan mobile number for receiving SMS messages (a lifesaver for bank verification codes), eliminating the need to carry an extra Wi-Fi device or worry about losing the SIM card. * **Disadvantages:** Your phone must support eSIM functionality, and it cannot be easily deleted after installation. It's highly recommended to save a screenshot of the original QR code just in case. **Summary:** Once you've used it, you won't want to go back. It's an essential part of modern travel in Japan.
Reviews: Sapporo 1-day tour | Hill of the Buddha · Jozankei Onsen · Seafood Market · Mount Moiwa, Hokkaido
Guest User2025-11-23
First Stop: Jozankei Onsen ♨ As Hokkaido's most famous hot spring resort, Jozankei is not far from Sapporo and is known as "Sapporo's backyard." It has a deep connection with the "Kappa" legend, with adorable Kappa elements everywhere, even on manhole covers! Unfortunately, we only had an hour this time, just enough for a quick photo op and a free foot bath! Although comfortable, I recommend staying overnight if you have the time to truly relax in the hot springs. Second Stop: Great Buddha Head Tadao Ando's design is absolutely brilliant! The originally solitary Great Buddha was completely "hidden" by a circular hill covered in lavender, with only the Buddha's head visible. The visit is like a ritual: first, you walk across the water, then enter a dark, winding tunnel, and finally, suddenly, you look up to see the Great Buddha solemnly appearing under the sky—the awe is something you have to experience to understand. It's very photogenic and has a Zen-like atmosphere. Third Stop: Hokkaido Shrine This shrine was built during the pioneering period and has a long history. However, if you've already visited many shrines in Japan, this one might not offer many surprises. The grounds aren't very large, and buying amulets is up to you. However, the Rokkatei outside the shrine is worth a try; it's a comfortable place to relax and enjoy some sweets. Fourth Stop: Shiroi Koibito (White Lover) Factory While called a factory, it's more like a fairytale-themed park. You can watch the cookie production line, try DIY, and take great photos. It's also suitable for families with children. However, frankly, if you're not particularly interested in dessert making, you might find it a bit commercialized. Also, you can buy Shiroi Koibito cookies at the airport, so you don't necessarily need to buy them here. Fifth Stop: Sapporo Beer Museum If you like beer, this is definitely worth a visit! The red brick building has a lot of character, and you can learn about beer history. Most importantly—you can drink Sapporo draft beer! We tried two glasses; the taste was fresh and smooth, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. It's a great place to end the day with a light buzz. Overall, this day trip itinerary is perfect for tourists like myself who are visiting Hokkaido for the first time and are unfamiliar with everything. Each of the attractions is representative, and visiting them all in one trip provides a vivid first impression of Hokkaido's culture and history. Traveling with a car also saves you the trouble of figuring out transportation yourself, making it convenient and hassle-free. As for whether each attraction is "fun," that's truly a matter of personal opinion—isn't that what travel is all about? Visiting places others are used to, taking photos in unfamiliar surroundings, and wandering around freely is itself an interesting experience.
Reviews: Hokkaido Summer Classic 1-day Tour: Cape Kamui + Otaru + Shiroi Koibito Park + Blue Cave
Guest User2025-09-29
Cape Kamui is absolutely stunning; the deep blue waters are truly breathtaking and worth seeing for yourself. Photos can't fully capture the beauty of its multi-layered shades of blue. The Otaru shopping street is fantastic! I had planned to visit the Miffy, Snoopy, and Kitty shops before I went, and I was so excited! Our day tour guide, Arafat, is fluent in both English and Chinese and can also give presentations in Japanese—he's incredibly professional and energetic! Thank you for your company throughout the day; it was a wonderful trip!
