Itinerary
Clock Tower (Tokei-dai)
Built in 1878, this is the oldest remaining clock tower in Japan and a symbol of Sapporo’s early development. Originally a drill hall for the Sapporo Agricultural College, it continues to chime every hour, preserving the city's frontier history.
Odori Park
A vast green oasis stretching 1.5 km through the heart of the city. It serves as a central stage for seasonal events like the Lilac Festival and Snow Festival. You can enjoy the contrast between modern skyscrapers and beautiful flower beds.
Hokkaido Jingu
Nestled in a lush forest, this is Hokkaido's most prestigious Shinto shrine. It enshrines four deities, including the soul of Emperor Meiji. It is a powerful spiritual spot where visitors can experience traditional Japanese rituals and seasonal nature.
Sapporo Beer Museum
Housed in a historic red-brick building, this is the only beer museum in Japan. Learn about the birth of the Japanese beer industry and the passion of the early pioneers. The iconic architecture is a popular spot for photography.
Ride the ropeway and unique "Moris-car" to reach the summit for a 360-degree panoramic view of Sapporo and the Ishikari Plain. It is designated as one of Japan’s "New Three Major Night Views," but the daytime scenery is equally breathtaking.
