• Sapporo TV Tower - Situated at the eastern edge of Odori Park, the Sapporo TV Tower is a cherished icon for both residents and tourists. Standing at its base, the sky seen through the steel structure appears a vibrant blue, as if heralding the beginning of your adventure. In spring, the park bursts with colorful blooms, summer offers a lush green landscape, and winter envelops the tower in a sparkling silver snow scene. This location, showcasing distinct seasonal transformations, fills visitors with thrilling anticipation of the “story about to unfold” in Sapporo.
• Gyokusuien 玉翠園 - Greeted by a quaint wooden sign and a simple noren curtain, this Japanese tea specialty shop beckons you inside. Upon entry, the warm, roasted scent of tea leaves fills the air, instantly calming your mind. Gleaming tea canisters and intricately carved teapots are neatly displayed on the shelves, softly lit by gentle lighting. Holding a ceramic teacup in both hands, you feel its warmth spread through your fingertips; the first sip reveals a delicate sweetness and mellow bitterness that lingers on your palate. Soft natural light streaming through the window gently brightens the serene space, creating a peaceful moment that allows you to forget the hustle and bustle of travel.
• Nijo Market - In the coolness of early morning, as you near the market’s entrance, a vibrant mix of salty sea air and bustling voices greets you. Bright red and orange crabs, translucent scallops, and golden sea urchins rest on beds of ice, resembling a treasure chest from the sea. Energetic calls, the rhythmic chopping of knives on cutting boards, and the smoky aroma of charcoal-grilled fish engage all your senses. The crab legs you sample surprise you with their sweetness, and the sea urchin melts on your tongue, its flavor mingling with the ocean breeze. This is no ordinary market—it’s a unique stage where you can fully experience the warmth of Hokkaido’s sea and its people.
• Tanukikoji Shopping Street - As you step into the arcade, the enticing aromas of freshly baked sweets, spiced soup curry, and steaming ramen tantalize your senses one after another. This shopping street, thriving since the Meiji era, is a place where local daily life and travelers’ curiosity intersect. Colorful souvenir shops, retro stores, and traditional Japanese confectioneries line the path, offering new discoveries at every turn. Friendly exchanges with local shopkeepers, the warmth of a hand-carved wooden bear you hold, and the sweet scent of wrapped Japanese sweets… Here, travelers seamlessly blend into Sapporo’s lifestyle and take home their own unique “fragments of stories.”
• Odori Park - Spanning east to west through the city center, Odori Park is a green corridor where you can experience the full transition of the seasons. In spring, tulips and lilacs add vibrant colors; summer offers refreshing sprays from fountains; autumn brings golden rows of ginkgo trees; and winter creates a magical scene with snow and illuminations. The sound of wind rustling through the trees, the strumming of a street musician’s guitar heard from a nearby bench, and the sweet fragrance drifting from flower beds… Here, you can forget you’re in the heart of a bustling city and surrender yourself to a leisurely, relaxing time.
• Former Hokkaido Government Office Building - Constructed in the Meiji era, the red brick office symbolizes Hokkaido’s pioneering and development history. Gazing up at its façade, the massive walls and Western-style architecture exude an overwhelming presence. Inside, the polished wooden floor creaks pleasantly underfoot, and old photographs and documents hanging on the walls narrate stories of a bygone era. Through the windows, garden views shift with the seasons, naturally inviting visitors to pause and reflect. Here, you don’t just see history—you experience the very air and sounds of the intersection between past and present.
• Clock Tower (Tokei-dai) - With its white exterior, triangular roof, and large clock face, the Sapporo Clock Tower quietly watches over the city like a gentle guardian. Approaching it, you hear the clear, soft chimes marking the time leisurely, softly signaling the end of your journey. The surrounding small garden and brick-paved paths add to the place’s nostalgic charm. When you leave, your heart quietly glows with the lingering joy of your trip and a wish to return to this city once again.
