Follow me and unlock Sapporo’s niche CityWalk.

In Japan, there is a city that is like a winter poem, quiet and full of surprises. It is Sapporo. Tired of checking in to the same popular attractions? Then follow me and embark on this niche Sapporo City Walk route to explore a different kind of northern scenery. In the early morning, the sun was shining gently, and we walked into Hokkaido University. Unlike ordinary tourists who just rush around and view the beautiful scenery, you might as well slow down and wander through the paths on campus. There is no restriction of walls here, and it blends in with the nature of the city. The European-style buildings on the roadside look like fairy tale castles against the backdrop of white snow. Look, the male college students on the basketball court are full of energy, showing their youthful vigor as they sweat; on the lawn in front of the library, there are also students reading quietly, immersed in the world of knowledge. Hokkaido University is not only a palace of academics, but also a picture of life full of vitality. At noon, when your stomach sends out a "feeding signal" on time, the Central Seafood Market is the best choice. Don’t be put off by the hustle and bustle of the market, head inside and find that restaurant that is highly recommended by locals and seasoned travelers. Eating both king crabs here is definitely a carnival for your taste buds. The steamed king crab has meat as crystal clear as white jade, and is tender and sweet in the mouth, as if it is an affectionate gift from the sea; the charcoal-grilled king crab has just the right burnt aroma, the shell is slightly crispy, and the crab meat inside is still juicy, making every bite delicious. It makes people sigh that the world is worth it. Paired with two portions of paella, a generous amount of sashimi is spread on the steaming rice, so fresh that it seems to have the smell of the ocean. Sip another bottle of sake and enjoy the pleasure of delicious food while tipsy. As for the price, this unique delicacy is definitely worth the price. In the afternoon, stroll to Yuanshan Park. The park in winter is like a kingdom of ice and snow carefully carved by nature. Walking along the winding path, you can see the simple architecture of Hokkaido Shrine. As the largest shrine in Hokkaido, it carries the beliefs and prayers of local people. Entering the shrine, a sense of solemnity arises spontaneously. At the amulet sales counter in the shrine, we carefully select amulets for wealth and health for our friends, and each one is filled with sincere blessings. I also ask for a lottery, no matter what the result is, it will be a special souvenir of the journey. Here, I also want to thank my friends who cared about me last night. I am in Hokkaido, far away from Kyushu where the earthquake occurred, and everything is fine. When traveling, there will always be unknowns, but it is these uncertainties that make every journey unique. This Sapporo City Walk connects the youthful vitality of the university, the fireworks and food of the market, and the simplicity and mystery of the shrine. If you also long for a unique trip, come to Sapporo and follow these footsteps to gain your unforgettable memories.
