Sapporo Information

- Odori Park -

Originally built to prevent fires spreading between the northern and southern parts of the city, Odori Park now plays host to some of Sapporo's main festivals and events, including the Yosakoi soran Festival and the Beer Garden in summer, as well as the Snow Festival and White Illumination in winter.
The 1200 meter-long stretch of lawns, flowerbeds, and fountains, as well as a children's play area and outdoor stage, provide residents and visitors alike with a greenbelt oasis of urban tranquility

 

 

- Susukino -

Sapporo's nocturnal quarter houses over 4,000 bars, restaurants, pubs, and clubs in an area of only 1 square kilometer. There is something for everyone, with cuisine and prices to suit all tastes, from simple noodle shops to more sophisticated establishments that specialize in both local delicacies and international fare.

 

 

- The Clock Tower -

Like Singapore's Merlion and Copenhagen's Little Mermaid, Sapporo's Clock Tower has a lot to live up to. Built in 1878 as a drill hall for the Sapporo Agricultural College, which went on to become Hokkaido University, it is now known throughout Japan as the symbol of Sapporo.
Nominated as a Structure of National Importance, it is somewhat overshadowed by the tall modern structures that surround it, but the charm of the American-style building still manages to attract hundreds, maybe thousands of visitors a day.

 

 

- Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill -

Somewhat overshadowed by the hi-tech Sapporo Dome Sports Stadium nearby, Hitsujigaoka provides a sprawling view of Sapporo from an area of highland inhabited by sheep in the southeast of the city.
The scenery is enhanced by a quaint little chapel and the famous statue of Dr. William S. Clark.
Sapporo's most famous forefather can be seen pointing towards the city with the inscription "Boys, be ambitious".
