Day 1 - Marvel At Sapporo's Iconic Landmarks

Wake up early and get ready for a bustling day in Sapporo. Start your day in the heart of the city by visiting Odori Park, Sapporo's iconic green expanse that stretches through the city center. Marvel at the fusion of urban life and nature, and don’t forget to capture a shot of the Sapporo TV Tower in the background. From here, head to the Sapporo Beer Museum, where you can learn about the history of beer making in Japan. Savour the taste of fresh beer accompanied by 'Genghis Khan', a local lamb dish. After a hearty meal, make your way to the Historical Village of Hokkaido. This open-air museum will take you back in time to the Meiji and Taisho Eras of Japan. Walk around the village, immersing yourself in Hokkaido's historical charm.

Day 2 - Bask in Sapporo's Natural Beauty

Today is for nature lovers. Take a drive to the magnificent Mount Moiwa for priceless city views after a leisurely ropeway ride. Perhaps you’d like to whisper some sweet nothings in your loved one's ear at the Bell of Happiness? Next, head down to Maruyama Park, home to the famous Hokkaido Shrine. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, engage with locals during a Shinto ceremony, or simply appreciate the tranquility. If you’re up for it, Maruyama Zoo is also worth a visit. Let’s end the day by unwinding at Hoheikyo Onsen, one of Sapporo’s most popular hot springs. Don't worry, we’ll keep the wasabi ice-cream a secret!

Day 3 - Discover the Gastronomical Richness of Sapporo

On your last day, explore Sapporo's food scene. Start by visiting Nijo Market, a fantastic place to taste some of Hokkaido’s freshest seafood. Ever tried sea urchin for breakfast? There’s a first time for everything! Next, head to Ramen Yokocho, a narrow alley bustling with ramen shops. Devour a bowl of miso ramen, Sapporo's specialty. In the afternoon, walk along Tanukikoji Shopping Street, fitting in some last-minute shopping and snacking. End your day (and trip!) in style by visiting the Susukino district, Hokkaido's largest entertainment district. From pubs to izakayas, it’s an epic finale to your memorable Sapporo tour.
