    You must go early as there will be a long queue later in afternoon. The views are good. Very short visit as the upper tower area is small. OK to go see the view.

    Odori Park, located near Sapporo Station in downtown Sapporo, isn't particularly large, resembling a typical garden or green space in Japan. However, the famous Sapporo TV Tower is right next to the park, attracting numerous tourists from all over the world. The area is packed with people eager to take photos.

    It's worth a visit. In the afternoon, I went to Mt. Moiwa from JR Sapporo. I took a taxi to the entrance of the Mt. Moiwa cable car for 2,900 (the driver drove the wrong way, it should be less than 2,700). I bought the ticket directly on Ctrip. When I arrived, I went directly to the window to scan the code to get the ticket. I thought there were not many people on Mt. Moiwa during the day, but it was not the case. There were quite a few people waiting for the cable car. The cable car is divided into two sections. There is a cafe where you can sit down after the first section, or go to the top to see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. There are many elderly people who hiked up the mountain. They are very thin and carry hiking sticks. They look very impressive. In fact, there is not much to see at the top of the mountain. You can take a rest and take the cable car down. There are no shops at the foot of the mountain. Just walk forward and take the tram. You can transfer to the subway in the city. The fare is not expensive. Looking at the old man walking briskly, I suddenly feel that the meaning of travel may lie in these inadvertent moments-not how beautiful the scenery on the top of the mountain is, but the people and things encountered along the way, which make the ordinary journey vivid and unforgettable.

    This is the highest point in Sapporo, offering a 350-degree panoramic view of the entire city. I recommend going during the day! Taking photos through the glass at night doesn't look as good. If you're not taking photos, then it's better at night.

    As a typical Japanese city skywalk, Tanukikoji is far less bustling than Shinsaibashi, much like the contrast between Sapporo and Osaka. But Tanukikoji is approachable, relaxed, and offers a great value.

    Hokkaido has ski resorts everywhere. Starting from Sapporo, Sapporo International is good in terms of distance and quality of ski slopes, and the scenery at the top of the mountain is also very beautiful. The 2.5-hour coaching course for 2 people is very cost-effective. I met Aya, a coach from Formosa, who taught us very carefully, especially reminding us where the movements were deformed during the process of leading us to ski, which gave us a very good experience. I gained a lot. She also took beautiful photos for us. It was worth the trip.

    Hokkaido Jingu Shrine in Sapporo was built during the early days of Hokkaido's development, when the region faced Karafuto and the Kuril Islands. The main entrance of the shrine faces northeast. The branch shrine, the "Hakkakujinja Shrine," commemorates individuals who contributed to the development of Hokkaido. Many Japanese people visit the shrine to pay their respects and reminisce about that period.
