Hokkaidō’s mountains, Ōdōri Park, kaisen don and a Sapporo beer or two.
Here’s everything you need to know before your day unfolds.
If Japan’s cities were family members, Sapporo would be the cool cousin. Known for its thrilling winter sports, spectacular Hoheikyo hot springs, year-round Ōdōri Park festivals, and its iconic beer brand, Sapporo is an city that demands attention. With a local host, you’ll tick off 15 of the city’s must-sees with the ease of a ski jumper zooming down the famous Okura-yama slope. Try fresh uni (sea urchin) at the traditional Nijo Market, explore cultural hub Nakajima Park next to the Toyohira River, and visit the Sapporo Beer Museum to sample a range of delicious brews. In tranquil Maruyama Park, see 150-year-old Hokkaidō Shrine before heading to your local insider’s favorite izakaya, where the zangi chicken is extra crispy.

The tour guide was considerate by providing his Whatsapp for contact in case I couldn’t find him… which I did initially because I was on the wrong side of the station. Nonetheless, it was a nice leisurely 6 hours. Took me to the places that I had not been to yet. I am hitting up the spots he recommended me today before I head home to LA tomorrow. Great job!

Show moreI had the honor and thrill to go eating with the local power lifting legend himself Ryuki. The man is a true gentle giant who knows the area well as he grew up here. Another bonus was he drove us around to locations I would never find myself. Food was great. Conversation and history of area was great. And he was an interesting man to talk to as well. Def eat the cow tonight !
Show moreAkihiro was a wonderful host and was able to change restaurants when we decided we wanted to sit at a table rather than at the Ramen bar. He spent a lot of time making sure we enjoyed ourselves. We were happy to spend our first day with him in Sapporo - it made it a lot easier for us to know our way around. He also helped us understand our food options in Japan which is also very helpful since we have 2 more weeks to go....
Show moreRyuki was the best tour guide! In Otaru, we visited glass shops from local artists and a shop of music boxes made in Japan. We also stopped at the Olympic Museum in Sapporo. Thank you Ryuki!
