Explore Sapporo, Japan

Sapporo is the largest city on the island of Hokkaido. Odori Park stretches from east to west in the centre of the city, and is a symbol of the city. To the south of the city you will discover a large underground shopping mall, which leads directly to Sapporo Station. This bright and cosmopolitan city is famous for its beer - a visit to the Sapporo Beer Museum is a great way to learn more about the city and its history, as well as enjoying its local brew. Sapporo played host to the 1972 Olympic Games and a selection of football matches during the 2002 Football World Cup. The city is also home to a Snow Festival each winter where giant snow sculptures are created and illuminated with different coloured lights. Sapporo is the ideal place to start your tour of Hokkaido.
