Summer in Sapporo! From Akarenga Terrace to Shaved Ice and the Former Hokkaido Government Office

Sapporo in summer is an ideal travel destination with its cool breezes and clear blue skies. Among its attractions, the Former Hokkaido Government Office, a historic red-brick building, stands as a beautiful landmark. Its lush green garden is perfect for a summer stroll (though the building is under renovation, the garden remains accessible). While strolling, don't forget to try the refreshing shaved ice from street trucks or small stalls scattered around Sapporo. Topped with fresh fruits or matcha syrup, these treats will instantly cool you down in the summer heat. As the sun begins to set, head to the Sapporo Akarenga Terrace. This multi-purpose cultural space, converted from an old warehouse, is home to cafes, restaurants, and shops, making it an ideal spot for a romantic evening. Sit on the outdoor terrace, savor a glass of Hokkaido beer, and soak in the charm of a summer night.
