Things to do 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.

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! 😃

Reviews: Hokkaido Noboribetsu Hell Valley + Lake Toya + Showa Shinzan Day Trip (Japan)
Guest User2026-04-20
All the attractions were absolutely beautiful! The itinerary was very well-organized; I don't know how much time it would have taken me to go on my own. Our tour guide, Ms. Liu Sheng, provided detailed and patient explanations throughout the day trip, sharing a wealth of historical, geographical, and cultural knowledge, which was a pleasant surprise and added a lot of enjoyment to the journey. Thank you, Ms. Liu Sheng, for your excellent service!

Reviews: Hokkaido (Sapporo) Cape Kamui + Otaru Canal + Shiroi Koibito Park Day Tour
Guest User2026-01-29
A solo trip to Hokkaido can be absolutely amazing! This "Sapporo Shiroi Koibito + Otaru + Mipai Snow Park" tour, booked just for one person, was heavenly! ✅ Shiroi Koibito Park: The chocolate factory is like a fairytale castle. Stroll through the exhibits while enjoying the sweet aroma of cocoa, and you can even DIY your own chocolate 🍫. Perfect for making souvenirs – so impressive! ✅ Otaru Canal: The canal is covered in snow in winter, complete with retro gas lamps – so romantic you'd want to film a K-drama! ❄️ The glass shops and music box shops along the street are fantastic; even the little trinkets you pick up are incredibly exquisite. ✅ Mipai Snow Park: Kids from the south went wild! Sleds, ice slides, snowmobiles… so many activities you wouldn't want to leave. Who can understand the joy of rolling around in the snow! 💡 The amazing little details that enhance the experience ▫️Group tours are perfect for those with social anxiety; no need to wait for shared rides, and the schedule is flexible and not rushed. ▫️The itinerary is relaxed yet fulfilling, with ample time for photos and enjoyment at each attraction. For those of you wondering what to do in Hokkaido during winter, this is the perfect itinerary! You can feel completely at ease even when traveling alone.
