    Worth the visit! Just mindful cause if there’s a strong wind the observation will be closed. we have to come back the next day and luckily it’s open. We went in and had a great photo of odori park. You can see most of the popular areas too up there. Don’t forget to play the stamp post card. The last stamp is located in the basement. It’s a good souvenir plus you’ll have fun doing that.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
