Must visit
Odori Park
Start your trip with a relaxed walk through central Sapporo’s main park corridor. It’s an easy, scenic base for nearby landmarks and subway connections.
Must visit
Sapporo TV Tower
Ride up for a clear, elevated view over Odori Park and downtown Sapporo. Go earlier in the day to avoid peak lines and catch better visibility.
Must visit
Hokkaido Jingu
Visit this major Shinto shrine set in wooded grounds just outside central Sapporo. The area feels cooler and calmer than downtown, so bring a layer.
Must visit
Otaru Canal
Walk the canal in daylight for classic waterfront photos and historic atmosphere. If skies are clear, staying toward sunset adds a more dramatic view.
Must visit
Sakaimachi Street
Use this as your main Otaru strolling street for shops, sweets, and quick snack stops. It’s an easy, flexible block to fit around other canal-area sights.
Must visit
Shiroi Koibito Park
A popular Sapporo attraction for themed exhibits, cafes, and confectionery shopping. Prebooking helps during busy seasons, especially for timed entry.
