[2025 Sapporo Attraction] Travel Guide for Susukino (Updated Jul)

#5月好去处2025 Address: 6th floor of Sapporo PARCO Main Building 3-3, Minami-1-jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido ⸻ Atmosphere/Facilities: The store is located in the character merchandise section on the 6th floor of Sapporo PARCO. Although the space is small, it is super dreamy, and every corner exudes a healing atmosphere full of Gikawa💖. The walls are full of character illustrations, with cute sound effects and background music, making people feel like they are walking into the world of animation. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic, the product area has clear movement lines, and the checkout process is smooth. ⸻ Features: • Hokkaido limited dolls are available: the protagonist Gikawa is holding a "Hokkaido map" doll, an exclusive design that is only sold in Sapporo! Cuteness is off the charts, it is the No.1 must-buy when visiting🔥 • A wide variety of limited-edition peripherals: including pendants, coasters, postcards, stationery items, etc., all incorporate Hokkaido elements such as snow, corn, animals and other local designs, which are worth giving as gifts or for personal use. • Cute photo wall check-in hotspot: The special character stand and background wall outside the store are a must-take spot for fans to pilgrimage and Instagram beautiful photos📷 • Regularly launch gashapon and event peripherals: The gashapon machine also has Hokkaido-style character designs, which are full of surprises. ⸻ Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) ⸻ Experience: As a die-hard fan of Ghikawa, the attraction I am most looking forward to when visiting Hokkaido this time is not the ski resort or the snow festival, but the Ghikawa store in Sapporo PARCO! As soon as I walked to the 6th floor, I was surrounded by cuteness, as if I had entered the Ghikawa universe. The feeling of accelerated heartbeat is really something that only fans can understand! Although the store is not big, each area is very delicately decorated, like a small exhibition showing character peripherals. What attracted me the most was the **Gee Kawaii doll** holding a map of Hokkaido! I immediately decided to take it home no matter how full my luggage was. The doll design is super healing. The character showed an innocent smile and held the colorful map of Hokkaido tightly in both hands. It really melted my heart. In addition to dolls, there are also many pendants, postcards, and eco-bags that can only be bought in Hokkaido. Characters with special food versions such as corn and crab are also designed. They are very creative and have commemorative value. I couldn't help but spin the capsule machine three times in a row, and I also drew a crocodile wearing a snow suit. I was so lucky! The staff was very friendly and reminded me which products were limited editions and which were about to be discontinued. It made me feel as warm as being taken care of by fan staff. After shopping in the store, you can also visit the entire PARCO department store or walk to Tanukikoji Shopping Street to continue shopping. It's super convenient. This Ji Ka Wa store is definitely an Easter egg in your Sapporo trip🎊. Whether you are a fan or a passer-by, you will be shocked by the cuteness of the limited designs! Don't doubt it, the "map-holding" Ji Ka Wa alone is worth a trip😍! #Sapporo #Odori Park #Sapporo Susukino #Sapporo Parco #Ji Ka Wa Limited Periphery #Ji Ka Wa Store #Hokkaido #Odori Station

Arrived in Sapporo in the evening and enjoyed a rich miso ramen at Shingen Ramen. The unforgettable taste of the soup was incredible. Its popularity is evident as even foreign tourists line up to try it. Took a stroll from Odori Park to the Clock Tower and TV Tower. Enjoyed the nightlife in Susukino and satisfied a small appetite with some seafood. Returned to the hotel and ended the night with yakisoba bento and Sapporo beer for a toast 🍻. On the final day of the trip, visited the Sapporo Hitsujigaoka Observation Hill, greeted the sheep and Dr. Clark, and concluded the journey with a meal at the Sapporo Beer Museum. The last meal in Hokkaido was Genghis Khan lamb barbecue, enjoyed with a special sauce and recommended salt seasoning. It was delicious. Hokkaido feels like a place that cleanses the soul. That's the impression it leaves.

#Travel Guide #Japan Travel #Sapporo Travel Guide Sapporo Travel Precautions (Including Hokkaido Regional Features) 1. Weather/Climate Preparation is Essential Winter: Sapporo has a lot of snow and very low temperatures in winter. It is common for temperatures to drop below -10 degrees Celsius. Non-slip shoes and winter gear are essential! Hot packs, scarves, and gloves are essential. Summer: It is cooler than the mainland, but the daily temperature difference is large. You may need outerwear in the morning/evening. 2. Transportation Precautions Public Transportation: The subway/bus system is well-developed, but transfers may be more inconvenient than on the mainland. If you are using a JR Pass, check if it is a Hokkaido-only pass. Driving during snowy weather: Be very careful when driving in winter when renting a car. Black ice, heavy snow, and poor visibility are common. 3. Understanding Hokkaido's Specialty Food Sapporo is centered around Hokkaido-style food such as crab dishes, soup curry, Genghis Khan, and miso ramen. Some local specialties have strong odors or are mainly raw (raw), so consider allergies and your taste. 4. Cash Usage Rate Compared to Tokyo/Osaka, there are many places that do not accept credit cards. Especially local restaurants, street vendors, and rural hot springs. A certain amount of cash is required (in yen). 5. Language Barrier Despite being a large city, the number of people who can speak English is limited. We recommend learning a translation app or simple Japanese conversation in advance. 6. Festival Period and Crowding During **Sapporo Snow Festival (February)** and summer festival season, hotel and rental car prices skyrocket and reservations are difficult. We recommend making reservations at least a month in advance.

Here are some must-visit spots in Sapporo during the summer: 1. Sapporo TV Tower (Observation Deck) Located in the heart of Sapporo, the 147.2-meter-high Sapporo TV Tower offers a panoramic view of the city and its surroundings from the observation deck. In the summer, you can enjoy the cool breeze and take stunning photos of the open scenery. 2. Sapporo Clock Tower Built in 1878, this historic clock tower is a symbol of Sapporo. Inside the quaint building, you can see exhibits related to the clock. It's a great place to leisurely explore. 3. Nijo Market Street Connected to Susukino, this lively street is lined with various shops, restaurants, and cafes. In the summer, it's perfect for souvenir shopping or enjoying local food, and the night view is also beautiful. 4. Odori Park Located in the center of Sapporo, Odori Park stretches over 1.5 kilometers and offers a wide space filled with various flowers and lush nature. In the summer, the Odori Festival takes place, offering a variety of performances, food, and activities for a special experience. These four spots are perfect for enjoying summer in Sapporo, offering a mix of nature, culture, and shopping all in one place!

#Overseas travel Izakaya recommended for Sapporo travel course The best Sapporo izakaya to feel Japan🍻🍺 This is a robatayaki-style izakaya, and it's great because you can enjoy watching and eating various foods being grilled right in front of the customers!🫶🏻 There are theories that robatayaki originated in Sendai and theories that it originated in Kushiro, but in Hokkaido, it is said to have started in Kushiro and spread there. (I thought maybe it was named after that(?!!??..?! Does anyone know(?)!!!) Anyway, a place where you can experience the original taste of robatayaki It's friendly (the best place I've been to) and the taste + atmosphere are so good, I'll definitely visit again for my winter trip to Sapporo✔️ 📍Robataya Kushiro | 炉端焼くし炉 - Japan 〒064-0806 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Chuo Ward, Minami 6 Jonishi, 4 Chome−1 Plaza 6・4 B1F (5-minute walk from Susukino Station) - Business hours: Mon-Sat 17:00-23:00, last order 22:00 (Closed on Sundays and public holidays, must check temporary closures in advance) - Reservations: Available (Easy reservations can be made through Google Reservations) #SapporoTravel #SapporoRestaurant #Robatayaki #Robatayakushiro

Did you know that Sapporo is the 5th largest city in Japan? 🙆🏻♀️ I found out for the first time when I went to Japan this time, but it's a really crowded and hot city in the world 🔥The good thing about Sapporo is that you can visit most tourist attractions on foot, and all the photos I took were taken while walking from Sapporo to Susukino.. ❤️🔥 I'll write some tips below and slowly share information about Sapporo restaurants and nearby travel information one by one 😉🥢🖤 ✔️If you want a lot of restaurants, stay in Susukino, and on days when you're moving around a lot, stay near Sapporo Station ✔️Most of the famous restaurants in Sapporo have a waiting line Many places take reservations, so if you don't want to get stuck in waiting hell, make a reservation in advance ✔️Make sure to do the Biei Tour!

Do you feel like there are surprisingly few things to see around the station from Sapporo? Here are some free spots and Hokkaido specialty foods for those people. 1. Photographing the Nikka sign in Susukino If you want to take a large picture, try the new complex called coconosusukino! It has a terrace! 2. Menyo-tei There are reviews saying that the service is sloppy and it's a rip-off, but the owner is an elderly lady who is clumsy, so don't worry about that and just go! The quality of the meat is good. But if you want to eat lots of vegetables, Yukidaruma on the other side of the road has a vegetable platter and you can eat a lot. 3. Shime Parfait It's run by a yakiniku restaurant called GAYA, but it's a shop where you can have Shime Parfait, and the prices start from 1000, so it's a little cheaper! The taste is guaranteed! 4.5 In front of the radio tower It's beautifully lit up at night! And try making a snowman. 6.7 Clock tower at night and in the morning 8.9 At Ishiya main store, you can buy a pack of 3 Shiroi Koibitos The packaging exclusive to the main store is cute 🫶 10. Hokkaido Prefectural Government Red Brick Office (former main office) Of course you can go inside, but the exterior is cute, so I recommend it! 11. Sapporo Factory I recommend the brick building! 12. Sapporo Nodai soft serve ice cream is really delicious! 13. Chitose Airport Assombrosso A fried potato specialty store Recommended because they have many flavors✨ Please check out the summary of Sapporo and Susukino😊 🏖️Lots of brick buildings in the atmosphere 📍Location: Sapporo, Susukino💰Price per person: From 5000 yen #Domestic travel strategy #Hokkaido trip #Susukino #Nikka Whisky #Sapporo sightseeing #Shiroi Koibito

Hokkaido 2025 ❄️ Hokkaido travel plan review We traveled with the JR Rail Pass because we traveled from another region to Hokkaido. ❄️ Day 1: Hakodate - A lovely city, good atmosphere, fresh seafood from the sea. The highlight is the red brick warehouse, which is a check-in point for anyone who goes there. Take beautiful pictures and don't miss it. If you come to this city, you must eat the famous burger Lucky Pierrot, which is only available in Hakodate. Especially if you come to the branch near the red brick warehouse, we sat and ate while enjoying the sea view. It was so happy. If you come to Hakodate, we recommend staying here at least 1 night because it takes quite a long time to get here. There are many other highlights to check in. Day 2: Noboribetsu - The highlight of this city is the Hell Valley. It has a very beautiful valley view. Take beautiful pictures and have fun. Every corner of this place is beautiful. I recommend you to come here. ☺️ Day 3: Otaru - We like this city the most. It is a small but charming city. It is romantic and cute no matter where you walk. There is the Otaru Canal that you must not miss, and the Music Box Museum with its many music boxes. Along the Otaru promenade, there are many shops. Time flies so fast. I think Otaru is a small city that is very cute and romantic. Day 4: Asahikawa - Today, we rented a car from Sapporo to go see the penguins walking around at 11:00. I recommend coming when it opens at 10:30 to wait in line for them. I have to say that they are very cute. Then - In the afternoon, we drove to Biei to take pictures with the Christmas Tree and Mild Seven Hill. I have to say that the real thing is very beautiful. - After taking pictures with the tree, we traveled to Ningle Terrace, which is like a small village. There are cute handmade shops in this village. Taking pictures here is beautiful and romantic. Day 5: Sapporo - Today, we are in the city. Shopping, and the shopping area here is probably Susukino, which is a center of products. This is the only place to come. A place to eat and shop until you drop. ☺️❤️ Day 6: Sapporo - Today is January 1, 2025. Most shops are closed, including department stores. Almost everything is closed. We know that people here go to pray for blessings on New Year's Day. We also went to pray for blessings at Hokkaido-Jingu Shrine. I must say that there were a lot of people. It was like the whole city gathered here. But it was good to come here. We were full of joy and happiness to welcome the New Year. 🙂❤️ Most shops are closed on New Year's Day. But there are still some restaurants open for us to eat. Don't worry. 🤣 Day 7: Prepare to go back. - Today, there's not much. Just stop by to buy some things that we haven't finished yet and fly back to Thailand. 😁❄️ *** In fact, there are many more tourist attractions in Sapporo, such as the Clock Tower, the Old Government Office, the City Hall, and others. If you come, I'd like you to stop by. 😃 This is my second time in Hokkaido. There are some places that I didn't go to. On this trip, I focused on places that I want to go back to and miss. Hope to come again Hokkaido ❄️❤️ #hokkaido #sapporo #hakodate #traveljapan #traveljapanbyyourself #japan #noboribetsu #otaru #furano

A snow in Hokkaido, Let the story of first love spread all over the streets of Sapporo. As in "First Love", Strolling in Sapporo where snow is falling, You will feel the city intertwined with the memories of youth. Everything here is filled with romance and purity. Whether it's a snow-covered street, Or the aroma of hot ramen noodles. Will make you recall those simple and touching times. A guide to a one-day trip to Sapporo in winter. Take you into the pure white world of first love! The most beautiful time in Sapporo is actually from dusk to night. So you don't have to get up early. Just sleep until you wake up naturally. 🗺＞ route: ➡️Hokkaido Old City Hall: The contrast between the red brick building and the white snow is like a frozen movie scene. This is the intersection of reminiscence and new beginnings, especially suitable for taking photos ➡️Clock Tower: It is said to be one of the most boring attractions in Japan. There is just a clock hanging on a house. Inside is a museum introducing the history of Sapporo. You can just take pictures outside, there is no need to go in. ➡️Odori Park & ​​Sapporo TV Tower: There are snow sculptures every winter, showing the unique charm of Hokkaido in winter. Every shot looks like a still from a movie. The overpass that Harumichi walked across to meet Yeying was filmed next to the TV tower, and the TV tower itself is also very photogenic. You can also buy a cup of hot coffee and quietly enjoy the tranquility of winter in the park. ➡️Nijo Market: This type of market is basically for tourists, just stop by and take a look to experience it. ➡️Tanukikoji: There are many drugstores and vintage shops, which is suitable for shopping. I don’t recommend eating there, as there are many delicious foods in the alleys nearby. ➡️JR Tower: The observation point on the 38th floor offers a 360-degree view of Sapporo, perfect for watching the sunset and night view. ➡️Susukino: In the center of Sapporo, the NIKKA sign is a must-see.

The main attractions are very close and can be reached on foot. 🍜Dining: There are many ramen restaurants in Ramen Yokocho, and I personally recommend "Yu". There are long queues at "Ichigen" and "Shingen", so it is recommended not to go there with an empty stomach, as you will have to wait for a long time. Soup curry is a must-eat in Sapporo. In addition to "Garaku", I recommend "Ramai". It is cheaper, tastier and you don't have to queue up. Please make reservations in advance for other barbecue restaurants, otherwise you will not be able to queue or dine on site. #Sign up for December hotel test sleeper #Travel guide #Hokkaido #Sapporo attractions #firstlove #Japan travel

Susukino is famous for the Nikka Whisky sign. Tourists from both Japan and abroad visit Susukino at night to see the flashy neon lights. It's about a 20-minute walk from Sapporo Station, and the Nikka Whisky sign is right outside the Susukino Station exit on the Namboku Subway Line, so keep that in mind if you plan to visit. The ramen you eat to cap off the night is also fantastic. Along with Tokyo's Kabukicho and Fukuoka's Nakasu, Susukino is considered one of Japan's top three entertainment districts and is a must-see spot in Sapporo. ◆ Susukino ◆ Right outside the Susukino Station exit on the Namboku Subway Line

#citystroll A stroll through Susukino, Sapporo’s vibrant entertainment district, is a unique way to experience the lively urban vibe of the city. Known for its nightlife, neon lights, and countless dining options. Start your walk at Susukino Crossing, the heart of the area, where large billboards and bright signs light up the streets. It's one of Japan’s most famous neon districts, similar to Tokyo’s Shibuya or Osaka’s Dotonbori. As you walk through, you'll find a wide variety of restaurants and izakayas (Japanese pubs). Susukino is famous for ramen, especially Sapporo's signature miso ramen, so stopping by one of the many ramen shops is a must. The area is also known for fresh seafood and local Hokkaido cuisine. Explore the Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade, a covered street that has been a popular shopping spot for over a century. With souvenir shops, cafes, and boutiques, it offers a mix of modern and traditional items. #100waysoftravel #japan #sapporo #sapporocity #traveljapan

(It's very difficult to move around with a carrier on the ground) - Sapporo city is not as cold as you think (in my opinion), so I think it would be good to bring a few heavy hot packs or buy them locally! - For those who find ryokans burdensome, I recommend going for 3 nights and 4 days, excluding the ryokan schedule! - Be sure to use the local Hokkaido convenience store 'Seicomart' (I highly recommend Yubari Melon ice cream!!) #Winter travel #Winter travel destination #Japan #Japan travel #Japan travel course #Sapporo #Sapporo travel #Travel destination recommendation #Travel

#JapanTravel #SapporoTravel #YukiMatsuri #WinterFestival There are three major winter festivals in the world. Canada Quebec Snow Festival China Harbin Ice Lantern Festival And Japan Sapporo YukiMatsuri As the name of the festival suggests, YukiMatsuri is a snow festival in Korean. They make snow sculptures and buildings on Sapporo Susukino Street and even make a ski jump, so you can watch the sculptures and ski jump shows. The snow sculptures are elaborately made, and the large ones are made to be similar in size to real ones. The snow sculptures are made using various characters, so it's fun to see the various sculptures. There are not only snow sculptures, but also ice sculptures, so you can feel the sculptures with a different feel from snow. I recommend coming in the evening because ice looks prettier when there's lighting. Sapporo YukiMatsuri, which holds various events in addition to snow and ice sculptures!!! If you are thinking of visiting Japan in the winter, try to visit during this festival period!!!

#Ho-kangs When you come out of Susukino Street, you wonder if this is what it means to be in Japan. Susukino Street is at the center of this planned city that stretches from Sapporo Ryu-yaku, which is full of entertainment establishments and delicious restaurants, to Odori Park and Chuo Park... There is an advertisement for the liquor brand Nika-ahjusshi on the signboard. You can easily find Don Quijote and the delicious and cost-effective Tenbuㅡㅡ★★If you want delicious restaurants, a city tour, and snowy scenery, I definitely recommend Susukino Street in Sapporo. The retro train that comes in and circles right away is also a must-see attraction on Susukino Street★★★
