Buckle up for a practical crash course in navigating Sapporo like a pro – and a golden opportunity to check out a couple of the city’s must-sees along the way. You’ll jostle your way through a traditional market, Nijo, trawl the 150-year-old Tanukikoji covered shopping arcade for sweet treats and souvenirs, and head to local hangout Nakajima Park, where you could check out the museum and traditional teahouse, or stroll the lush lawns along Sōsei River towards Iyahiko Shrine. When it’s time for a snack, it’s only right for an honorary Sapporo local to try the city’s specialty at Soup Curry GARAKU, before downing a draft of Japan’s most iconic beer in the city that invented it while your host shares more essential insider tips for your trip.
