Ice Views Await❄️

#falladventures Sapporo, the vibrant capital of Hokkaido, is a city where modern life blends beautifully with northern landscapes, seasonal beauty, and incredible food 🍜❄️. Whether you visit in winter for its famous snow scenes or in summer for its refreshing festivals, Sapporo always delivers something special. Start your journey in Odori Park, the green heart of the city — or a sparkling white wonderland in winter. From here, ride up to the Sapporo TV Tower for sweeping city views 🌆. Nearby, the historic Sapporo Clock Tower offers a glimpse into the city’s early days. Head to the Sapporo Beer Museum to learn about Japan’s beer culture and enjoy a tasting (don’t miss the local Genghis Khan BBQ!) 🍺🔥. For seafood lovers, Nijo Market is the spot for fresh sashimi, crab, and Hokkaido specialties. Explore the charming area of Maruyama: the peaceful Hokkaido Shrine, leafy paths, and one of Japan’s best urban zoos — perfect for a relaxing break from the city bustle 🌿. If you’re craving local architecture and history, the Former Hokkaidō Government Office with its red-brick façade is a gorgeous stop. In winter, the Sapporo Snow Festival turns the entire city into an open-air gallery of giant ice and snow sculptures — a truly magical experience ❄️⛄. In other seasons, nearby Mount Moiwa offers beautiful hikes and one of the best night views in Hokkaido. Sapporo is tasty, friendly, and full of northern charm — a perfect base for exploring the wild beauty of Hokkaido while still enjoying great food, culture, and a relaxed city vibe.

Sapporo, once December becomes a winter-only fantasy land ❄️! This trip specially came to Sapporo city center, visiting Sapporo Odori Park and Sapporo TV Tower - the annual Christmas market is super atmospheric under the evening lights, crowded, surrounded by snowflakes and Christmas decorations, as if you are in the Northern version of "Winter Love Song" scene. This route is perfect for those of you who like exoticism and Christmas atmosphere. You can enjoy the most intense festive culture of Sapporo while having fun and eating! Highlights of the itinerary ・Odori Park Christmas Market under the snowy scenery at night: giant Christmas tree, live music, continental-style stalls, and Sapporo TV Tower |Odori Park Christmas Market The annual Sapporo "Winter Feast" is located at 1~12-chome in Odori Park. Not only does it have a large Christmas tree, lighting promenade, but also many European-style tent stalls selling hot chocolate, grilled sausages, and Christmas gifts. The venue was crowded in the evening, but it had a festive atmosphere, which did not diminish its popularity whether it was cloudy or snowy. There are musical performances and a craft market, perfect for warm moments with friends or couples. 📍Address: Japan 〒060-0042 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Chuo Ward, Odorinishi, 1~12-chome ⏰ Opening Hours: Open all day year round (Christmas Market only December ~ around Christmas) Practical tips | Personal experience sharing 1. Recommended to go from late November to around Christmas, the snow has not been sealed so thick, but the festive atmosphere is the strongest! 2. Shoes must wear non-slip boots (the ground in downtown Sapporo is easy to accumulate snow), walk the market do not be afraid of slipping. 3. The Christmas market is crowded, see your favorite delicacies to buy early, the queue will not be too long. Some stalls specialize in hot chocolate and sake, which makes you feel warm at night. 4. The TV tower is best up in the evening to see the sunset and night view at once. Transportation guide ・Sapporo TV Tower and Odori Park are actually adjacent, 5 minutes walk from the subway "Odori Station" gate. Food recommendations ・Christmas market hot sellers: German sausages, french fries, corn and more, you can try a variety of traditional European cuisine. #SapporoChristmasMarket #WinterSnowScene #SapporoTV TowerPhoto #HokkaidoJapan #TravelLife
