Best Sapporo Tours from Tokyo

The capital of Hokkaido and its largest city, Sapporo blends urban convenience with easy access to nature and seasonal charm. Best known internationally for the Sapporo Snow Festival, which takes place every February and features hundreds of massive snow and ice sculptures, the city attracts visitors looking to enjoy Japan’s winter culture at its finest. In warmer months, Odori Park becomes a green corridor running through the city center, while nearby Mount Moiwa offers panoramic views and nightscapes. Sapporo is also famous for its namesake beer - tours at the Sapporo Beer Museum and fresh pours at its beer garden are popular year-round. Food lovers won’t want to miss local specialties like Sapporo miso ramen, Genghis Khan (grilled lamb), and fresh Hokkaido seafood at Nijo Market. With direct access to ski resorts, hot springs, and flower-filled countryside, Sapporo serves as both a comfortable base and an inviting destination in its own right - modern, relaxed, and distinctly northern Japanese.
