[2025 Sapporo Attraction] Travel Guide for Odori Park (Updated Jun)

Odori Park is an oasis with 92 types of trees including lilacs and elm stands located in the middle of a business district. On its lawns and around its fountains, one can find locals and tourists alike relaxing. Odori Park is called a park, but it’s really a street. In 1871, a firebreak, which cuts central Sapporo into is northern and southern parts, was built. The firebreak became Shiribeshi Dori, which was renamed Odori. Odori Park, which is usually a very calm and relaxed space, is also used for many of Hokkaido’s best-known seasonal events, such as the Snow Festival in the winter, Lilac Festival in the spring, YOSAKOI Soran Festival and beer garden in the summer, and Autumn Festival, which brings together various Hokkaido cuisines, in the fall. In the heart of Sapporo, the iconic Odori Park stretches east to west for 12 blocks (approximately 1.5km) from 1-Chome to 12-Chome and takes about 30 minutes to walk its entire length.#cherry_blossoms #myitinerary #travel #couplestrip #naturalwonders #familytravel #myitinerary

A snow in Hokkaido, Let the story of first love spread all over the streets of Sapporo. As in "First Love", Strolling in Sapporo where snow is falling, You will feel the city intertwined with the memories of youth. Everything here is filled with romance and purity. Whether it's a snow-covered street, Or the aroma of hot ramen noodles. Will make you recall those simple and touching times. A guide to a one-day trip to Sapporo in winter. Take you into the pure white world of first love! The most beautiful time in Sapporo is actually from dusk to night. So you don't have to get up early. Just sleep until you wake up naturally. 🗺＞ route: ➡️Hokkaido Old City Hall: The contrast between the red brick building and the white snow is like a frozen movie scene. This is the intersection of reminiscence and new beginnings, especially suitable for taking photos ➡️Clock Tower: It is said to be one of the most boring attractions in Japan. There is just a clock hanging on a house. Inside is a museum introducing the history of Sapporo. You can just take pictures outside, there is no need to go in. ➡️Odori Park & ​​Sapporo TV Tower: There are snow sculptures every winter, showing the unique charm of Hokkaido in winter. Every shot looks like a still from a movie. The overpass that Harumichi walked across to meet Yeying was filmed next to the TV tower, and the TV tower itself is also very photogenic. You can also buy a cup of hot coffee and quietly enjoy the tranquility of winter in the park. ➡️Nijo Market: This type of market is basically for tourists, just stop by and take a look to experience it. ➡️Tanukikoji: There are many drugstores and vintage shops, which is suitable for shopping. I don’t recommend eating there, as there are many delicious foods in the alleys nearby. ➡️JR Tower: The observation point on the 38th floor offers a 360-degree view of Sapporo, perfect for watching the sunset and night view. ➡️Susukino: In the center of Sapporo, the NIKKA sign is a must-see. You can also choose to: ➡️Sapporo Beer Garden: The famous Sapporo Brewery, where you can also eat Genghis Khan BBQ ➡️White Lover: Visit the production of White Lover and DIY your own White Lover ➡️Nakajima Park: The place where Harumichi and Ye Ying dated to watch Mars is in front of the observatory in the park. There is also free skiing experience in winter. ➡️Mt. Moiwa: The night view is one of the three major night views in Hokkaido. The first scene of "First Love" is the view on the top of the mountain. 💡＞ Tips: 🚌Transportation recommendation: You can take the subway or tram in the city. The main attractions are very close and can be reached on foot. 🍜Dining: There are many ramen restaurants in Ramen Yokocho, and I personally recommend "Yu". There are long queues at "Ichigen" and "Shingen", so it is recommended not to go there with an empty stomach, as you will have to wait for a long time. Soup curry is a must-eat in Sapporo. In addition to "Garaku", I recommend "Ramai". It is cheaper, tastier and you don't have to queue up. Please make reservations in advance for other barbecue restaurants, otherwise you will not be able to queue or dine on site. #Sign up for December hotel test sleeper #Travel guide #Hokkaido #Sapporo attractions #firstlove #Japan travel

Not only can he speak Chinese as well as a native speaker, he can also write Chinese characters very well! He said he went to college in Tianjin before and he is very nice. The hotel provides small packages of fancl lotion and emulsion, which can be picked up in the lobby ⛲️Odori Park The park is so beautiful in autumn. I sit here and watch the pigeons and crows. You can walk around according to the time and spend the whole day comfortably. I was wondering why roasted corn was sold in the park. As expected, everyone ate while sharing with the pigeons. Crows sometimes want to steal food, but humans prefer pigeons hhh 🕰️Sapporo Clock Tower Walk from Odori Park and turn the next corner. There are so many different clocks in Sapporo!
