A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

Strap in for a whirlwind experience of Sapporo’s own “Little Tokyo” – a bright, bold world of bars, clubs, restaurants and lots of shopping. Get lost in huge, flashy shopping centers, head below to browse 100-yen shops in the underground corridors connecting Susukino to Ōdōri, and stock up on souvenirs and every conceivable Kit Kat flavor (including ‘baked potato’!) in the Tanukikoji shopping arcade. If a wild night is what you’re after, Susukino’s got you covered with hundreds of cocktail bars, karaoke bars, and noodle bars to choose from. After testing your luck at a pachinko parlor – a cross between pinball and slot machines – perhaps you’ll end up in Ramen Alley sampling Sapporo’s miso ramen, generously topped with butter and corn.

I 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 !
