Historic Village – With several dozen old, traditional buildings that date back to the Meiji and Taisho Eras, the Historic Village of
Hokkaido is an open air museum that shows the history and progress of Hokkaido’s people, culture, architecture and lifestyle from
more than 20,000 years ago up to the present.
Moerenuma Park – A public park on the outskirts of the city, Moerenuma Park consists of vast areas of green hills with numerous manmade
structures such as the Hidamari, a pyramid-shaped building; the Sea Fountain; Moere Beach, an artificially-made bathing area;
and Mount Moere, a man-made hill that offers fantastic views of the park and its surroundings.
Susukino – For the ultimate nightlife experience in Sapporo, visit Susukino, a large entertainment hub packed with numerous pachinko
parlours, bars, karaoke shops, restaurants and nightclubs. It also has a narrow alley called the Ramen Yokocho, which is home to ramen
shops that serve the city’s favourite ramen dish. Every February, it hosts the Sapporo Snow Festival ice sculpture competition.
Getting Around
Sapporo has a tram line, several buses and three subway lines, providing fast and easy connections between the different attractions in the
city. To avoid having to buy a ticket for every ride, visitors can purchase a one-day subway pass for use on all three subway lines, or a prepaid
IC card (Kitaca or Sapica) that is valid for all modes of transportation.
