[2025 Sapporo Attraction] Travel Guide for Hokkaido University (Updated May)

#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.

🌨️ Be sure to check the temperature before leaving for Hokkaido! Otherwise you might see something like the one in the picture. The first rule of thumb when traveling is to prevent slipping rather than cold weather. To prevent slipping, you can wear safety work boots or buy simple shoe spikes at a convenience store. Booking a hotel in advance is a must. No one told me that a hot spring hotel in Hokkaido in winter would cost more than 4k a night. 🥹🥹 If you plan to go to Hokkaido in winter, it is recommended that you read this guide before leaving. 【Pre-trip advice】 ❶ Don’t worry too much about the language barrier, use the simplest English words + sign language, basically everyone can understand, ❌ Don’t use long sentences, get a translation app, it’s completely OK to mix Chinese, Japanese and English! ❷ If you want to see snow, go to Hokkaido alone. A 5-7 day trip is OK. Hokkaido is vast and sparsely populated, and the distances between scenic spots are far. Public transportation takes a long time. It is recommended to invite three or five friends to charter a car or carpool together. ❸ Japanese taxis 🚕, hotels 🏨, or restaurants/convenience stores basically accept credit cards and Alipay. ❹ You can exchange some Japanese yen for use in small shops (especially ramen shops). There are currency exchange machines and counters everywhere, so you don’t have to worry at all. ❺ Otaru is very small, but any photo you take is full of romantic atmosphere. Prices are relatively expensive, so it is recommended to travel from Sapporo to Otaru on the same day! Remember to sit on the right side of the train, close to the sea, the scenery is superb. 【Some notes】 ‼ ️ Don't make phone calls or play videos or music out loud on the train or subway. It is really very, very quiet. I have seen Japanese people secretly answering the phone, but it is really an exception. ‼ ️ Don’t eat foods with strong odors. Generally, you can buy bento on long-distance trains like the Shinkansen. Although it is cold, I have personally tested that the taste is really good. 【About transportation】 The airport bus is really slow, and in good weather, it takes [one and a half hours] to get from Sapporo city hotel to the airport. It is recommended to take JR if you want to catch the return flight; you can take the bus for the outbound trip🚌. 【About attractions】 Sapporo: Hokkaido Shrine, Odori Park, Sapporo TV Tower, Hokkaido University, Sapporo Clock Tower, Sapporo International Ski Resort⛷️ Otaru: Otaru Sakaimachi Street, Funamizaka, Tenguyama, Otaru Canal Biei: Biei Blue Pond, Hakuko Falls, Biei Christmas Tree🎄 Furano: Forest Elves🧚 Terrace 【Outfit Guide】 🧥 Upper body: Warm clothes + fleece inner wear/down vest + long down jacket, or polar fleece + light feathers. It's about minus six or seven degrees, and the body doesn't feel too cold. There is heating indoors. 👖 Pants: Thickened fleece pants or autumn johns + single pants are completely sufficient. 🧣 Others: Gloves🧤, hats, scarves, and earmuffs are all prepared to keep warm and take photos at the same time! 🥾 Shoes: There are three key indicators for wearing shoes in the snow - waterproof, anti-slip and warm. You can buy anti-slip mats at FamilyMart and Lawson supermarkets. 【Itinerary suggestion】 👉 If you want to see snow and soak in hot springs♨️Take the Hokkaido West Route, depart from Sapporo, visit Otaru, then walk around Lake Toya, soak in hot springs in Noboribetsu, and finally return to Sapporo. 👉 If you want to go to Asahikawa Zoo🐧, Biei Blue Pond and Furano, it is recommended to charter a car🚗. You can get there by JR, but it will take a long time to go back and forth, and the bus schedule is fixed. #Hokkaido #Hot Springs #Travel Tips

#Viewing Maple Leaves #Viewing Ginkgo Leaves 🍁Hokkaido University 📍Address: Kita 13-jo Nishi 5-7, Kita-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 🕰️Opening hours: 24 hours 💰Average consumption: Free 💞Recommended reasons: Hokkaido is a place with four distinct seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, flowers in summer, maple and ginkgo trees in autumn, and snow in winter. If you want to enjoy maple leaves and ginkgo trees, the most convenient place in Sapporo is Hokkaido University. Due to the high latitude of Hokkaido, the best time to enjoy maple leaves and ginkgo trees is November. Hokkaido University is the largest university in Japan, and it would take at least half a day to fully explore it. In addition to the most popular Hokkaido University Ginkgo Avenue and Hokkaido University Central Dining Hall, other important attractions include the Furukawa Auditorium, the Clark Statue, the poplar trees, and the museum. Transportation Tips: Hokkaido University is located on the north side of JR Sapporo Station. It takes 10 minutes to walk directly from the Central North Exit of JR Sapporo Station. If you are coming from other places, you can take the Sapporo Metro Namboku Line to Kita-Jujutsujo Station, exit from Exit 2 and walk 6 minutes to Ginkgo Avenue. The "Ginkgo Avenue" on the Hokkaido University campus is about 380 meters long, with 70 ginkgo trees on both sides. It is a holy place for admiring ginkgo every autumn and winter, but it is actually also a place for admiring maple leaves. Due to different varieties, ginkgo leaves will only turn yellow, while maple leaves will turn yellow and then red. However, ginkgo and red leaves are plants that belong to the same season, so you can enjoy them at the same time. After entering the school from the North 13th Gate, the 380-meter driveway is lined with ginkgo trees, which looks like a golden tunnel! No matter how you take photos, you can always take the most beautiful photos. After taking photos, you may want to go to the nearby Central Canteen for a meal. There are a total of seven canteens on campus, and the Central Canteen is the most popular among tourists. It only provides meals to students and faculty members during the peak dining time from 11:30 to 13:00 on weekdays. The cafeteria adopts a buffet style. Ramen, rice bowl, raw beef bowl, and cheese pork chop are all very famous. The prices are cheap and it is really good value for money. #viewing maple leaves #viewing gingko trees #Hokkaido University #Ginkgo Avenue #Central Dining Hall #Sapporo #Sapporo Tourism #Hokkaido

#银杏 #100方式旅行 Best places to see ginkgo in Hokkaido #Hokkaido University Ginkgo Avenue, around late October, after the autumn maples turn red, it is the turn of the ginkgo to turn golden yellow, at this time the red, yellow and green colors interweave, it is very beautiful. Ginkgo Avenue has very convenient transportation. Walk out of Sapporo JR Station in the direction of Hokkaido University for about ten minutes, enter from the North 13th Gate of Tarugawa-dori in Nishi 5-chome, and you can also visit the beautiful Hokkaido University. However, Ginkgo Avenue is busy with cars on campus on weekdays, so it is actually very dangerous to stand on the road to take pictures. It is best to come before 7 a.m. to take pictures, as there will be few people and no cars, so you can pose as much as you want. Otherwise, when there are activities on weekends, there will be relatively many people on the scene even though there are restrictions. However, there are many students setting up stalls and performing songs, which is quite fun. At night, there will be a beautiful light show. The originally golden ginkgo trees will be lit up with colorful lights, becoming quite magical! Since you are at Hokkaido University, in addition to trying the student cafeteria and milk ice cream, you can also appreciate the unique buildings, such as the Centennial Memorial Hall of the Medical School in the style of a Nordic log cabin, which is quite good for taking photos. #HokkaidoTravel #SapporoAttractions #HokkaidoUniversity #GinkgoNamaki #Ginkgo #100TravelWays

It feels like you could catch beetles. Just taking a walk around here seems pleasant. #HokkaidoUniversity #Nature #SapporoTrip

Hokkaido University is a particularly large site in the center of Sapporo. The public can visit this campus in certain areas. One of them is the Heisei Poplar Avenue. There is another poplar avenue, but it is separate. It is located a little away from the main gate, but the size of the avenue is quite impressive. #PoplarAvenue #HokkaidoUniversity #Nature #SapporoTrip

Hokkaido University's vast grounds are the size of about 38 Tokyo Domes 😳 The lush campus in the city is highly recommended for a stroll 😊 Enter through the main gate near Sapporo Station and you'll find plenty to see, including the Clark statue, historical buildings, and the Elm Forest 🌳. Take a leisurely stroll under the autumn sky and feel the cool breeze 🚶‍♀️ A relaxing trip 🤭 #SapporoTrip

This is a tangible cultural property in the public area of ​​Hokkaido University. It was donated by the former Furukawa zaibatsu and is still used as a school building today. You cannot enter the building, but the exterior has a retro feel reminiscent of the Meiji and Taisho periods, and you can enjoy just looking at the design. #Snowscape #Sapporo

I came to see the Clark statue at Hokkaido University. The standing statue often seen in tourist guidebooks is not here but in Hitsujigaoka, and this is a bust. Be careful when searching for Clark statues. Many people visit this statue to pay tribute to Clark, who had a deep connection with Hokkaido. #Snowscape #Sapporo

Hokkaido University is known as a national university with a vast campus, part of which is open to the public. The avenue here is also open to the public, and in autumn it becomes a magnificent row of ginkgo trees. In winter, the snow-covered avenue delights visitors. #Snowscape #Sapporo #University

The ginkgo trees on the Hokkaido University campus are a very popular spot to see autumn leaves every year. The golden ginkgo trees lined up in a row were a spectacular sight. Depending on the situation, you may not be able to see them, so I hope you'll check it out and go see it when the season comes. You can walk to the ginkgo trees from Sapporo Station, so please take a little trip. #SupportTourism #AmazingView #Sapporo #SupportTourism#AmazingView

Bust of William S. Clark This is Dr. Clark, who said, "Boys, be ambitious." Hokkaido University is open to the public.
