Things to do in Sapporo

Sapporo is located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, and stands out with its grid-like city layout and Western-style architecture, which is a legacy of 19th-century urban planning during the Meiji era. Sapporo knows how to do winter right. When the snow falls, ski resorts buzz to life and the Sapporo Snow Festival turns downtown into a glowing world of ice and creativity. Some of the best things to do in Sapporo include catching sweeping views from the Sapporo TV Tower, strolling through Odori Park, and, of course, sipping a cold glass of Sapporo beer, brewed right where it all began.

Reviews: Hokkaido Winter Classic 1-day Tour: Asahiyama Zoo + Shirahige Waterfall + Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) + Forest Elf Terrace

The itinerary was well-planned, and our tour guide, Bingbing, was incredibly kind. At the Asahikawa Zoo stop, she personally led us to the penguin parade area, where we found a great viewing spot. Along the way, she also recommended other attractions and local delicacies. The weather was fantastic today, and we visited all the attractions, plus the tour guide gave us 5 to 10 minutes more time than usual. We enjoyed local cuisine and bought some souvenirs we liked. So happy! 😃

It was a great experience. It was my first time to take a one-day tour. We visited Tomita Farm, Shirahige Falls, Aoike Pond, and Shikisai-no-Oka. I didn't bring a power bank, so the guide lent me one to charge. 🔋 I was so touched. The guide was very patient in explaining things along the way. I will definitely take part again next time.

This trip was fantastic. First, our tour guide, Xiaoyu, was incredibly patient, helping every tourist who needed assistance. Throughout the trip, she tirelessly shared many interesting local history and cultural stories, which I, as a tourist, listened to attentively and found very helpful and informative. She also patiently guided us through the meeting points and ensured safety, providing excellent service. Second, the driver's skills were superb. Despite the challenging driving conditions in the icy and snowy conditions, he still managed to get everyone to our destination safely and on time. Thank you both for your hard work; the entire trip was excellent, and I would definitely choose Xiaoyu again next time.

I visited Sapporo with my father to celebrate his 70's birthday. I actually went on the trip without high expectations, but it turned out to be an absolutely incredible memory! In particular, our guide, Hero, was extremely kind and prepared guide in both English and Japanese, which was a tremendous help throughout the tour. In the bus, Hero carefully explained each location we were about to visit, including the origins of their names and the stories behind them. Despite the cold weather with slippery roads, he also went out of his way to take photos for each of us, team by team, which we truly appreciated. Thanks to his thoughtful effort, we were able to get many beautiful pictures and wonderful memories. We've learned so much about Hokkaido during the tour, and it was an awesome and informative experience in many ways, so we are already planning to join again next time. It would be such a pleasure to tour with Guide 'Hero' again! Yes!! "Hero like a super Hero" lol!

The service was convenient and the guide was very attentive, providing detailed information throughout the trip. It was a fantastic travel experience. The tour group was punctual, and each destination was incredibly beautiful. I was impressed with every place. The weather was pleasantly cool, perfect for taking photos. The melon ice cream was delicious and had a wonderful melon flavor. The price was reasonable, and we visited all five locations as planned. The driver was an excellent driver with a wonderfully friendly and cheerful personality, always greeting us with a smile. We arrived at our destinations safely. I highly recommend trying a one-day trip; it's convenient, safe, and the service is truly great. It's well worth the money, considering the excellent service and the beautiful places we visited.
