    Our bus took us up the mountain and we rode the cable car down. This was the best way to see everything. The observatory is at 1,100 feet showing a panoramic view of the area. If you don’t want to ride the cable car you can drive yourself both ways.

    well organized zoo, that is placed in a gentle uphill slope (if you start from the main/west gate)
    We got to see most of the animals, like the penguins, white polar bear, black bear, monkeys, orangutans, etc.
    it also has a petting zone where children can touch rabbits and guinea pigs.
    overall, a nice place for children to see animals.

    one thing, though, we did not like is the monkey indoor space. the floor looked terribly hard and - naturally, dirty - . we felt that was not good.

    Beautiful park with flowers and autumn foliage. The corn truck had delicious corn on the cob that was worth the queue! Wish I had more of it! The parallel street had a tranquil small park that tourists overlook and locals go there to paint. The park is beautiful both in the day and at night.

    Such a fun time! Sapporo was great. Such great food. We went for the Sapporo Snow Festival in 2024 and it was fantastic. While you’re there definitely try Miso Ramen and Curry Soup from Suage+ Honten. The Sapporo Beer Museum and Genghis Khan in the food hall there was delicious and such a fun experience. Will definitely go back to check out what Sapporo has to offer during the summer months. It was an easy trip via ANA airlines from Haneda airport from Tokyo.

    The colourful farm is definitely the signature of Farm Tomita. Great for photo-taking. You should definitely also try the melon at the farm.

    Excellent tour and museum. Free tasting at the end of the tour. We opted out of this for better tastings in the museum. The gift shop is stock with various whiskey not readily available in the US. Great deals.

    Love this even if the pond is frozen. The atmosphere is great. There is illumination at night, although we didn't go at night. The light fixtures for the illumination were a bit of a distraction though. I went there before in June and it was a nice all-nature place and great for photographs, but with the large towers and light fixtures, it kinda loses some of the charm. I'm sure the effect at night is beautiful though.

    Amazing views from top.
    Prefer going around sunset.
    Next to Gondola this is the best place to visit in town.

    An interesting area in downtown Sapporo filled with bars and restaurants offering all types of food, certainly worth a visit at night when the lights come on and the area becomes very lively.

    The Otaru Canal is a great place to take your time. A rickshaw is the best way to get around the sights around the canal. Ebisuya-san is cheerful, energetic, and gives detailed explanations. It's was an ultimate Japanese experience.
    小樽運河は、じっくり時間をかけて回るのがいいですね。運河の周りの見所を回るのは、人力車がお勧めです。えびす屋さんは、明るく、元気で、丁寧な説明をしてくださいます。

    The underground maze of several walkways going back and forth seem to stretch several kilometers. The weather is indeed chilly during winter , and staying at the Sapporo Grand Hotel , we would later discover this pathway underneath at the basement which has a plethora of shops , restaurants and fast food outlets. Several toilets along the way can be seen. But take note most are closing by 9 pm so we can be wary of that .

    Hokudai 北大 is the famous Japanese national University in Sapporo, Hokkaido. Considered to be the nation's finest institutions of higher education or research it Is one of the top universities and was ranked 5th in THE Japan University Rankings.
    Little surprise that it is considered a “tourist-visiting sites” too by TA and some traveling journals. The premise has such abundance of accessible green space that we were overwhelmed when we visited it recently. Barely a 10 mins walk north from our Hotel stay.

    We noted that the general public can often be seen using the campus area in a similar way to a public park, mostly jogging & some bicycle. There is a museum in the university that is opened daily which we did not go to., we just roam around the northern-eastern side of the campus, relaxing ourselves on the last morning b4 our flight back to SG.
    And always must-mention will be the Hokkaido university poplar avenue and also the "Ginko avenue", at both areas the trees/flowers aplenty and drew much crowd and even tourists. Depending on the season it could be ginko, cherry and even maple leaves

    Recommended if one has the time and is nearby.
