What you'll do

Join a handpicked Host to discover some of Sapporo’s top attractions, its regional specialty cuisine and its rich culture - in just one day!

With your thoughtfully matched Host, choose which of the city’s top attractions you’d most like to see like Sapporo Clock Tower, Mount Moiwa and the Hokkaidō Shrine, or let your Host design a bespoke experience which includes the must-see attractions as well as some hidden local spots.

Discover the city’s famous temples and shrines, its history and culture as you explore with your Host and get a feel for this modern city.

Stroll through Moerenuma Park, a unique sculpture park where the park itself is the sculpture, or head up to the observation deck of Mount Moiwa to admire the sweeping views over the city, or shop until you drop in the neon-lit, bustling Susukino district.
