Sapporo Travel Guide

 debtravers Says:  we went to an onsen nr Jozankei, about 60 mins by bus from Sapporo. This one was not linked to a hotel and was a natural area of hot volcanic spring water coming directly from the ground. The location was stunning; a natural pool on the side of a wooded mountain. Snow was... 

 vyxxyn Says:  A must, as Sapporo Beer is famous in every nation. Even if you're a non-alcoholic person, this visit will certainly be an educational experience. Pictured here: the Brewery. Getting there: 10 mins bus ride, or if you have time, 45 mins slow walk north east from Sapporo... 

 vyxxyn Says:  Visit this museum, the closest you will get to visiting the factory. Some displays are presented using 3D animated exhibits like this one pictured. Really cute!Explanations are in Japanese therefore you should get an English flyer (free) from the receptionist as you enter... 

 vyxxyn Says:  Where else in the world can you get beer ice cream that tastes perfect? Of course this is a must-try experience you'll never forget! Fresh beer from the Sapporo Brewery! Buy the ice cream from this little hut located in the Beer Garden. You will not find it anywhere else in... 

 milliturtle Says:  My friend suggested I try the crab (kani) banquet in Sapporo. Being more "frugal" than she is, my travel buddy and I decided to have lunch in the hopes of basically tasting the same thing for half the price. Kanihonke's huge crab sign caught our eyes as we were walking from... 

 milliturtle Says:  We heard that jingisukan (i.e. Genghis Khan / mutton bbq) is quite popular in Sapporo, so we must try it out. My friend recommended the all-you-can-eat & drink Sapporo Biergarten at close to 4,000 yen, but since we had a late lunch, we were not able to stomach the... 

 Nicholsp02 Says:  In a backstreet of the upper class side of Sapporo, the Cote Dor French Restaurant looks more like a dark castle than a restaurant from the outside. The winding staircase circles the flower shop and follows a cave-like entrance to the bright restaurant. We went there to... 

 hanbert Says:  enough tip on this eating place, just to add some additional pointers:1. The 'eat-all-you-can' price has a time bar of 100mins.2. With some (reasonable) additional yens, it includes free flow of beer - good choice if you like to drink freshly brewed beer3. With yet more...

 aukahkay Says:  Tanukikoji is an all-weather shopping arcade lined with well-established shops. Traditional specialty shops and shops popular with young people, such as those selling used clothing and miscellaneous goods, are lined up next to each other. Japanese youth fashion, traditional... 

 akikonomu Says:  Enroute to the airport, this is an interesting stopover if you have 2 to 3 hours to spare. It is basically a farm market where you can buy seeds, gardening tools and decorations. Something worthy of mention is its park with metal structures (very artistic) and an enormous... 

 debtravers Says:  Sapporo is laid out on the North American grid system and is a very easy city to navigate. City blocks are named and numbered according to the point of compass, with the apex at the eastern end of Odori Park. For instance, the Clock Tower address is North 1, West 2 (one...
