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/Trip Moments

Reviews: [Official Ticket] JR PASS Hokkaido Rail Pass (electronic exchange voucher)
Guest User2025-07-22
Hokkaido travel is necessary, only ticket exchange in Hokkaido. I changed at Hakodate Station. Like other PASSs, I went to the counter to change tickets and then rowed seats. The entire Hokkaido trip basically does not have to pay extra. Unfortunately, Hokkaido only has a special emergency line. It is very noisy and swaying. It is delayed at every turn. The Chinese may not be used to it at first. .
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: Sapporo Teine Ski Resort in Hokkaido|1V9 Small Group Lesson + Round-trip Hotel Transfer + Bilingual Instruction in Chinese & English
Guest User2025-12-12
Instructor Fox was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly patient and professional, and even helped capture our skiing progress, which was so thoughtful. The experience was fantastic, and with the video recording, I feel so lucky to have such a wonderful instructor. Thank you for being such a beautiful and excellent instructor! (Although I was quite weak throughout and needed her to take care of me, my partner had a fantastic time. Thank you, Fox! You were amazing!)
Reviews: JR PASS Sapporo-Furano Area Rail Pass 4-day (e-ticket)
Guest User2026-01-15
I think this pass is quite cost-effective. The fact that it includes unlimited free reserved seat tickets is a particularly strong point. First of all, with this pass, you can get reserved seat tickets on the Airport Express from New Chitose Airport to Sapporo without an additional fee, guaranteeing you a seat. It's also convenient to get free reserved seat tickets for round trips from Sapporo to Otaru and Asahikawa. Especially for the Asahikawa round trip, you can get the most out of the pass. I'm sure many people know this, but they seem to carry this pass with them. The ticket case provided was also convenient for storage. I've purchased passes from JR stations in other regions, but they only gave me a single piece of paper, so I was worried I'd lose it. While the trains to Furano are a bit more frequent, this pass allowed me to travel without worrying about transportation costs. As an added bonus, if you're planning to visit the Christmas trees, there's a 1,000 yen round-trip Christmas tree shuttle from Biei Station. It's a good idea to research and reserve in advance. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it in advance, so I walked for an hour round trip from Bibaushi Station.
