If you want to see the night view in Sapporo, I recommend the JR Tower Observatory! The cityscape from the observatory is especially beautiful when the lights are on at night 😵 There is also a cafe where you can enjoy drinks while taking in the night view. Although it's not a very tall tower at 38 floors, it's worth a visit. ✅️Japan 〒060-0005 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Chuo Ward, Kita 5 Jonishi, 2 Chome−5−ban Reception: JR Tower East 6F (Sapporo Stellar Place East 6F JR Tower 38F

Sapporo Station JR Tower T38 ☑️ The location is JR Tower, which is directly connected to Sapporo Station. Buy a ticket on the 6th floor and take the elevator for the observation deck to the 38th floor. Admission is 740 yen for adults. ☑️ JR Tower, T38, which I visited when I visited Sapporo a long time ago It was a place that I was more satisfied with because it was relatively not high... This time, I visited because I had the opportunity to buy an admission ticket at a low price. There weren't many people, so I was able to take my time leisurely. It's a place where you can see 360 ​​degrees of Sapporo, so I recommend adding it to your Sapporo itinerary. #SapporoTravel

Standing high in the JR Tower Observatory in Hokkaido, the cityscape of Sapporo unfolds before your eyes. The orderly streets and well-arranged buildings create a delicate and vivid picture. When the sunlight falls on the rooftops, the entire city of Sapporo is bathed in a soft, warm glow. In the distance, the vast Ishikari Plain connects to the distant mountains, dotted with the slightly white ridges of winter, forming a stark contrast with the bustling city. As your gaze sweeps across Sapporo, you can also see the famous Sapporo TV Tower, the verdant campus of Hokkaido University, and the serene Nakajima Park. This bird's-eye view from above seems to blend the bustling city and nature into one scene, evoking a sense of awe. Inside the observatory, visitors hold their breath as they admire this magnificent panorama of Hokkaido, deeply moved by the vastness of the land.

The last stop of this trip is Sapporo. When we arrived in Sapporo, the sky was clear. Since the weather is good, let's go up to the height and have a distant view. Let's go Sapporo JR Observation Tower~ ❤Reason for recommendation: JR Tower Observation Deck "T38"! As the name suggests, it is located on the 38th floor of the JR Tower. After coming out of Sapporo Station, you will see signs for "JR Observation Room T38". First go to the 6th floor of STELLAR PLACE CENTER to buy tickets, and then take the elevator directly to the 38th floor. Since there are not many super high-rise buildings in Sapporo, you can have a sweeping view of the city from this 38th-floor observation deck! 🕙Business hours: ・[General period] 10:00～23:00 (last admission: 22:30) ・[Summer ] 9:30～23:00 (last admission: 22:30) 💰Per capita consumption: Ticket price: 740 yen for adults, 520 yen for middle and high school students, 320 yen for elementary school students/infants 🌟Highlights: 1.

Sapporo "Krab General" Main Store: When talking about Sapporo's chocolate, we must mention "Krab General" Main Store. The Sapporo "Kani Shogun" store building has become a local landmark because of its extremely eye-catching "giant crab model" on the roof. "Crab General" store mainly provides three types of services: hot pot meals, banquet meals and set meals. The food ingredients are mainly crab meat. In addition to being delicious, the "Crab General" store has an elegant interior and exterior environment and unique decorations. It is a feast for the mouth and eyes here! 4.

Food, drink and entertainment are relatively concentrated. Sapporo Station is one of the most important transportation hubs in Hokkaido. It gathers many JR railway lines, including the railway to and from New Chitose Airport, as well as the Toho Line and Namboku Line of the Sapporo Urban Subway. There is a large flow of commuters. Known as the crown of the North. This huge station is also a large shopping mall! It is composed of five major shopping malls, namely: Paseo, STELLAR PLACE, DAIMARU Department Store, ESTA, and APIA.

I came with my father and bought the afternoon tea package first. The ticket exchange was quick and direct, and I was able to watch the night view and eat snacks. I was really happy. I will visit again if I have the opportunity. It was a great experience.
