2025 Sapporo Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

🌟 **January 1, 2025, Makomanai Takino Cemetery: The Double Impact of Moai Statues and Great Buddha Head** 🌟 On the first day of the new year, I visited the **Makomanai Takino Cemetery** in Sapporo, Hokkaido. This place is not only a serene cemetery but also a beautiful space that blends nature and art. 🌿✨ In this vast land, two iconic attractions—the **Moai Statues** and the **Great Buddha Head**—brought me immense visual and spiritual impact! 🗿 **Moai Statues: The Mysterious Atmosphere of Easter Island** As soon as you enter the cemetery, the most striking sight is the rows of replica Moai statues from Easter Island! These massive stone sculptures stand silently in the snow, as if guarding the land, giving off a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. ❄️🗿 In the winter sunlight, the contrast between the white snow and the gray-black stone creates a stunning visual effect, making every photo an artistic masterpiece! 📸 Whether taking a solo photo or having fun with friends, the Moai statues are perfect photo backgrounds! 🙏 **Great Buddha Head: The Perfect Combination of Art and Spirituality** Another unmissable spectacular sight is the 13.5-meter-tall **Great Buddha Head**! This Buddha head is half-buried in the ground, symbolizing a fusion with nature, surrounded by a field of lavender (though covered in snow in winter, it still has a unique charm). 🌸❄️ Standing before the Buddha head, you feel not only visual impact but also a sense of peace and reflection. The atmosphere here makes you slow down and quietly savor every moment. 💭🕯️ 🌿 **The Beauty of Changing Seasons** Whether it's the lavender fields in summer or the snowy world in winter, Makomanai Takino Cemetery showcases different charms throughout the seasons. The Moai statues and Great Buddha Head appear even more unique and solemn in this natural landscape. 📸🌞 📍 **Location**: Minami-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 🚗 **Transportation**: About 30 minutes by car from downtown Sapporo, or take a bus. On the first day of 2025, I encountered the Moai statues and Great Buddha Head at Makomanai Takino Cemetery, feeling the perfect blend of art and nature. If you also enjoy exploring unique attractions, this place is definitely worth a visit! 🌟

Come and visit Hokkaido Shrine, the largest shrine in Hokkaido. It is located near Maruyama Park Station on the Sapporo Subway. After exiting the station, head towards Maruyama Park, and you will find Hokkaido Shrine on the mountain. The shrine is beautiful in all seasons: cherry blossoms in spring, fresh greenery in summer, red leaves in autumn, and white snow in winter. Hokkaido Shrine has three torii gate entrances. Entering through the first torii gate from the park entrance, you will pass by Kaitaku Shrine, Sapporo Konpira Shrine, and Eda Shrine. Entering through the second torii gate leads directly to the main hall of the shrine along the Omotesando, lined with cherry blossom trees. Entering through the third torii gate, you will pass by the archery range, and you can explore the surrounding area. Hokkaido Shrine was formerly known as Sapporo Shrine. In 1869, Emperor Meiji ordered the establishment of the shrine in Sapporo to enshrine the three deities who protect the pioneering efforts in Hokkaido. It is considered the guardian shrine of all Hokkaido, so be sure to visit and buy an omamori (protective charm).

A decoration design that combines modern architecture with traditional Japanese style What’s special is that the hot spring here uses the water from Noboribetsu Hot Spring! After soaking, the skin is super smooth and the whole body is relaxed After the hot spring bath, there is free Hokkaido ice cream to eat I'm so happy Breakfast is by reservation (recommended) Meals are served as set menus, with self-service beverages The main dish is eel rice, and there is also sashimi, which tastes better when eaten with tea rice. Reservations can be made during check-in or in advance via email ( info-sapporo@ryokan-yuen.jp ) Payment is required upon check-in But the hotel still has some minor shortcomings The room is super small🫨 Although I knew it before I checked in, it was actually a little smaller than I thought. It is very inconvenient to open the suitcase In winter, if you hang a down jacket, clothes, etc., the room will be full. (Personally, I put the things and clothes I will use in this hotel in the carry-on baggage You only need to open the small carry-on case to check in, which solves the problem of insufficient space) The subway is also quite far from the hotel. It is a little inconvenient to drag a suitcase when it is snowing. However, this kind of tranquility away from the city is also a kind of enjoyment There are relatively few shops around, but there is a convenience store. Overall, I still recommend it ☺️

There are rubber rings. Just take a ring and go to the snow. The staff will arrange it for you and then you can slide down. Although it is not high, it is still very exciting. There are also tools for making snowmen, such as snow compactors and snowman decorations. The whole thing is super cute! You can also experience walking skiing here. It’s free to rent shoes and skis. You can walk around on the snow to experience it. There is a restaurant next to it. You can go there to eat when you are tired. There are Genghis Khan barbecue, ramen, curry, etc. Another great thing is that the gifts here are very beautiful! I bought two boxes of limited edition cookies and also got some capsule toys. In short, I really recommend coming here to play for an afternoon😍😍 ✨Features: Statue of Dr. Clark Fun and interesting activities (rubber bands, snowman building, snowboarding) 💰Average consumption: The ticket is 600 yen.

🏖️ Must-Visit Spots: Mount Moiwa, Shiroi Koibito Park 🚇 Transportation: Sapporo has very convenient transportation. You can reach various attractions by subway, and you can also try the tram. 📷 Photo Spots: Shiroi Koibito Park entrance, Mount Moiwa sunset view, street snow scenes 🍜 Local Delicacies: Sapporo Agricultural College milk ice cream, available near JR Sapporo Station at Stellar Place and Damairu Department Store souvenir shop 🏠 Accommodation Recommendations 1. MYSTAYS Sapporo Station North Exit Hotel, very close to Sapporo Station, rooms equipped with humidifiers, self-service laundry available, very cost-effective

After staying in Sapporo for a few days, I ate at the following restaurants based on various recommendations: [Soup Curry] ❶GARAKU🌟🌟🌟🌟 Sapporo soup curry is the best! Located near Tanukikoji, the line often reaches the sidewalk, and on weekdays the waiting time is at least 30 minutes. The signature chicken drumstick curry soup has soft and tender chicken legs without being fried. The soup base is refreshing and watery. You can choose the spiciness level (medium or above is recommended for a more satisfying taste). It goes great with turmeric rice and cheese! The disadvantage is that there are too many people and the seats are crowded, but the food is served quickly and the turnover rate is high, so it is recommended to check in during off-peak hours. ❷Ramai🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 The environment is spacious like a private room, with plenty of ingredients to satisfy your hunger! Few people recommend it but the locals love it. It mainly serves Indian-style soup base, with optional spiciness and free soup and rice. It is the best value for money. The combination of chicken legs and pork is solid, the soup base is more refreshing and less greasy than GARAKU, the large seats are suitable for large gatherings, and there is basically no need to queue. The experience is much better than that of the Internet celebrity restaurant! 【Ramen】 ❶Yuu Ramen (Ramen Yokocho)🌟🌟🌟🌟 The boss looks like the male lead in a Japanese drama! The original yuzu salt ramen has a refreshing soup with a fruity aroma, thinly sliced ​​barbecued pork and tasty, and a runny egg. It is socially friendly and the boss will personally explain how to eat it, with a full sense of humor! The location is hidden but the atmosphere is unique, suitable for a healing late-night check-in. ❷ Shingen Ramen🌟🌟🌟 Sapporo Miso Ramen Top 1, the soup base is so thick that it can be hung on the spoon, the garlic + milk flavor is intertwined, and the noodles are chewy and springy. But the queue is an open-air "standing ticket" queue, which is freezing in winter and takes an average of at least 1 hour! Locals recommend ordering the "Shinshu Rich Miso". The fried rice is also good but the portion is small. It is recommended to order during off-peak hours or take out and cook your own dumplings. ❸Ichihuan Ramen🌟🌟🌟🌟 The shrimp soup is so delicious! The main store is located in a remote place but it's worth it. The shrimp soup has 3 concentrations to choose from (the original flavor is "そのまま"), and it is paired with noodles with more sauce. You can enjoy the indoor heating while waiting for a table, and ordering in batches is more efficient. We recommend the "shrimp + pork bone" double soup base, and don't miss the shrimp rice balls and fried dumplings! The branch is at New Chitose Airport, so you can use it even when you are catching a flight. 【Finally】 There is no standard answer for soup curry and ramen! Some people are willing to queue for an hour for GARAKU, while others think Shingen is too salty; Ichigen’s shrimp soup is regarded as a masterpiece by its fans, while those who are afraid of the fishy smell just shake their heads... When it comes to traveling, the gold standard is to make your own taste buds happy! #FebruaryGoodPlaces2025 #NewYearGoodPlaces2025 #Food #Ramen #SoupCurry #HokkaidoTravel #JapaneseFoodGuide

Heading to Hokkaido, the first stop is to stay in the city of Sapporo at 'Hotel MYSTAYS Sapporo Aspen'. The location is great, being close to the north exit of Sapporo Station and Hokkaido University, just a 10-minute walk away. Convenient transportation is very important for independent travelers. However, the main reason for choosing to stay at MYSTAYS is surprisingly because you can DIY your own seafood bowl for breakfast! This reason is quite funny, but when you see the scallops, salmon roe, and sashimi piled on top of the vinegar rice, it really is an explosion of joy! This is the hearty way to enjoy breakfast in Hokkaido. Hotel MYSTAYS is a chain hotel, positioned as an affordable business hotel. A good location is a must, and it can't be too expensive, so luxurious decorations are sacrificed. The overall style is simple and plain. Although it is a bit old, it is still maintained and cleaned quite well. The 16-square-meter twin room is really small, but considering it costs only 4000 New Taiwan Dollars for two people including breakfast, it is barely acceptable! Fortunately, it was the first day of the trip, so we hadn't started shopping yet, and there wasn't too much luggage. Otherwise, it might have been a bit cramped, but it was comfortable enough.

#GlobalTravel As soon as you step into the shrine, you will be immediately attracted by the "hanatemizu" covered with flowers and the numerous Japanese umbrellas. The colorful umbrellas are changed from time to time. When I visited, it happened to be my favorite blue color. It was really beautiful. If you like collecting goshuin, you will find a wide variety of them for sale here. There will be different seasonal designs every month, such as paper sculptures and embroidery. Each goshuin is exquisite and unique in design. Suwa Shrine is very conveniently located, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk to the shrine from Sapporo Station. Along the way, you can also enjoy the street scenes of Sapporo city and feel the pace of life of Hokkaido people. Address: Sapporo Shrine, Sapporo

#getgoing2025 Maruyama Pancake I visited Maruyama Pancake, a pancake specialty restaurant in Sapporo, during my trip. The white pancake I ordered consisted of two fluffy pancakes topped with fermented butter, whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream. Yes, the white lumps on top are all butter! Of course, it's fermented butter from Hokkaido, so you can bet it's delicious! It is also covered with condensed milk sauce. The pancakes themselves are simple and not too heavy, so I finished them off with a perk. We arrived about 10 minutes before opening on a weekday and were first in line.The line continued to form and by the time we left, there was a wait. 🏖️BAmbiance/Facilities: Maruyama Pancake 📍Address: Japan, 〒064-0804 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Chuo Ward, Minami 4 Jonishi, 18 Chome−2−19 💞Reasons to Recommend: Amazing pancakes ⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ ・⋆ #trip #travel #traveling #Hokkaido #Sapporo #cafe

Sapporo Snow Festival Held in February, the Sapporo Snow Festival is a signature winter event in Sapporo. The giant snow and ice sculptures in Odori Park attract many tourists from both Japan and abroad every year. At night, the sculptures are illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere different from the daytime. You can also enjoy the ice sculptures at the Susukino site and the slides at the Tsudome site, making it a great spot for families. 2. Sapporo Clock Tower The Sapporo Clock Tower, a symbol of Sapporo, is a historic building representing the Hokkaido pioneering era. Covered in snow, it becomes an even more picturesque photo spot in winter. Inside, there are exhibits where you can learn about the history of the pioneers. Its convenient location makes it easy to visit between other sightseeing spots in Sapporo. 3. Sapporo TV Tower Located at the eastern end of Odori Park, the Sapporo TV Tower offers a panoramic view of Sapporo and its snowy landscapes from the observation deck. In winter, the illuminated night view is particularly stunning. During the Snow Festival, it serves as a prime spot to overlook the entire venue. 4. Nikka Crossing The intersection famous for the "Nikka Whisky" sign in Susukino is one of Sapporo's night view spots. The neon lights shining in the cold winter air are exceptional. The area is also filled with izakayas and restaurants, making it perfect for enjoying Hokkaido's seafood and Genghis Khan dishes. 5. Sapporo Beer Garden The Sapporo Beer Garden, known for its historic red brick building, offers freshly brewed beer and the famous Genghis Khan dish. Enjoying a meal in the warm indoors while gazing at the snowy scenery is a luxury unique to a winter trip to Sapporo. The Beer Museum also provides insights into the history of Sapporo Beer. Tips for Traveling to Sapporo in Winter While winter in Sapporo requires thorough cold weather preparation, the beautiful snowy landscapes and illuminations will create special memories for your trip. Make sure to dress warmly and enjoy the winter in Sapporo to the fullest!
