How your day could unfold

A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

Strap in for a whirlwind experience of Sapporo’s own “Little Tokyo” – a bright, bold world of bars, clubs, restaurants and lots of shopping. Get lost in huge, flashy shopping centers, head below to browse 100-yen shops in the underground corridors connecting Susukino to Ōdōri, and stock up on souvenirs and every conceivable Kit Kat flavor (including ‘baked potato’!) in the Tanukikoji shopping arcade. If a wild night is what you’re after, Susukino’s got you covered with hundreds of cocktail bars, karaoke bars, and noodle bars to choose from. After testing your luck at a pachinko parlor – a cross between pinball and slot machines – perhaps you’ll end up in Ramen Alley sampling Sapporo’s miso ramen, generously topped with butter and corn.

My family and I are glad we hire a tour guide because we were able to explore more of Japan. Our tour guide’s name is Shiunn she was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Shiunn showed us around Sapporo Japan and we had such a great experience. Shiunn was able to share her thoughts and suggestions to help us get around town on our own. The next day my family and I were able to explore on our own and we saved a lot of time instead of researching places to go ourselves. I highly recommend hiring a tour guide to show you around so you can spend more time vacationing rather then wasting precious time during our vacation.
