Things to do in Sapporo

Sapporo is located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, and stands out with its grid-like city layout and Western-style architecture, which is a legacy of 19th-century urban planning during the Meiji era. Sapporo knows how to do winter right. When the snow falls, ski resorts buzz to life and the Sapporo Snow Festival turns downtown into a glowing world of ice and creativity. Some of the best things to do in Sapporo include catching sweeping views from the Sapporo TV Tower, strolling through Odori Park, and, of course, sipping a cold glass of Sapporo beer, brewed right where it all began.

Reviews: Hokkaido Winter Day Tour from Sapporo: Asahiyama Zoo(Admission Included), Biei Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls & Ningle Terrace
Guest user2026-10-06
The day trip was excellent; I was surprised by how low the price was on Ctrip. Each attraction had shops, but the guide never recommended buying anything; it was all voluntary. Lunch wasn't mandatory; you could order whatever you wanted, or not. The weather wasn't good at the Shikisai Route (Four Seasons Road), and it was raining at Shirahige Falls. However, the weather was great at the Blue Pond and Furano Flower Fields.

Reviews: Hokkaido · Asahiyama Zoo · Ningle Terrace · Shirogane Blue Pond (Aoiike) · Shirahige Waterfall 1-day tour
Guest user2026-05-13
It was pretty good. The tour guide was very responsible, explaining things to tourists from different cultural backgrounds in Chinese, Japanese, and English. He proactively took photos for us at the attractions and we visited all the places he recommended. There was no shopping during the trip, which was great! We visited the Blue Pond, Shirahige Falls, and Asahiyama Zoo. The Blue Pond's colors are beautiful and it's worth a visit! Early May is cherry blossom season 🌸 The cherry blossoms at Asahiyama Zoo are beautiful, and you can often see beautiful cherry blossoms along the roadside.

A day trip with detailed explanation from the tour guide. The tour guide will contact 1 day before regarding where and when to meet. Have chance to visit a few places in 1 day. Recommended.

This was a fantastic tour, my first time using their service, and I was very impressed with both the guide and the care throughout the trip. I can definitely say that if I return to Japan, I will use their service again.

Reviews: 1-day tour to Noboribetsu and Lake Tōya in Hokkaido: Noboribetsu Jigokudani Valley + Showa-shinzan
劉幸怡2026-11-01
The itinerary was excellent, featuring all the must-see attractions. Our driver, Mr. Wang, provided precise meeting information the day before and arrived at the meeting point early, ensuring we departed on time. The geothermal terrain of Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley) was unique, and the Suzan Ropeway is worth the extra cost for the breathtaking views of Lake Toya and Showa Shinzan. This small group tour offered a fantastic quality experience, and the other travelers were all very courteous. A big thank you to our hardworking driver, Mr. Wang, for driving the long distance; despite being only 30, his driving skills were excellent, his speed was stable, and the ride was smooth and comfortable.
