Sapporo, Japan 2023

 Our epic Japan trip started with a day lost in Tokyo transiting for a night. We stayed at the Royal Park Haneda. Nothing much to crow about and the highlight for us was eating Yoshinoya for dinner followed by a walk to the airport’s Lawson convenience store.

Early next morning we flew out to New Chitose Airport already. I love Sapporo. It’s such a beautiful city and really less crowded compared to Osaka or Tokyo. 

Day one in Sapporo we checked into our rooms at Royal Canvas Sapporo, which was right outside the Sapporo TV Tower. There was a beautiful Christmas market at Odori Park and we hung out there for a while to enjoy the Christmas feels. Most Christmasy feelings I’ve ever had.

Then we went to the Sapporo Beer Museum but missed the 4pm cutoff for beer tasting, no big deal we still drank a lot this trip. Then we had dinner at Ramen Alley where it began to snow.

Ah snowing in the city is just so beautiful.

Next day we went to the Sapporo Crab Market for King Crab breakfast! Followed by Nijo Fish Market for lunch. then we went up to Mt Moiwa and stayed till evening to see the city by day and by night. In the evening we had Genghis Khan dinner with a very friendly owner.

On our final day in Sapporo we went to Shiroi Koibito Park to see how those expensive biscuits were made. Then to the beautiful Maruyama Park. What an awesome park in the winter, it was just covered in snow. Obviously we played snow while over there. Then we went to Sapporo TV Tower to see Odori Park and the rest of the city by day and by night. Just so lovely and magical. It was also snowing very heavily already.

Really love Sapporo.
