A brief introduction to Sapporo, Japan

Northern Japan’s largest city, Sapporo, is known as the springboard to Hokkaido’s national parks and onsens, boasting year-round festivals, excellent beer, and fascinating museums.

We recommend starting your Sapporo experience by visiting the scenic Odori Park. This popular destination is home to a roster of exciting events throughout the year, such as the Sapporo Snow Festival and numerous seasonal food and beer festivals. Odori Park is also home to the Sapporo TV Tower and several fascinating museums, including the Sapporo City Archive Museum, Gallery Odori Museum, and Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art. Don’t miss out on the Sapporo Beer Museum, where you can explore the history of one of Japan’s most widely recognised beers – and treat yourself to delicious samples.

With a more relaxed pace of life compared to Japan’s bustling cities in the south, Sapporo offers many beautiful hills and parks that are perfect for a relaxing stroll. Consider visiting Moerenuma Park, Nakajima Park, or the picturesque tulip gardens at Takino Suzuran Hillside Park for stunning natural views and innovative architecture.
