    Everything you need to know about Sapporo, Hokkaido Japan. We visited Hokkaido during winter, beginning Feb 2023, with heavy snow days and average temperature from -12C to highest was 5C. What should I prepare for winter in Hokkaido? Layer yourself with thermal clothing, waterproof warm jacket (snow jacket is very useful), snow waterproof boots (trust us, the road is SO slippery) and warm scarf, gloves and beanies. Even if you don't go skiing or snowboarding (like us), bring snow jacket or snow boots as the snow can be really heavy.
    00:00 Intro
    00:26 How to get to Sapporo?
    1) You can get to Sapporo via shinkansen or bullet train or domestic flight from Tokyo. We decided to take domestic flight because it was cheaper than shinkansen. If you buy the JR Rail Pass then it might be worth the effort to travel via bullet train despite longer travel time.
    2) How to get around Sapporo?
    We got Hokkaido Rail Pass that cover all JR Hokkaido lines, available for 5D or 7D. You can buy the ticket from Pelago: tinyurl.com/4tc88hrz with discount code: PEL15NAH
    You can also hire car rather than public transport, very useful if you travel to other cities.
    00:56 Where to stay in Sapporo?
    3) We stayed at Onsen Ryokan Yuen Sapporo because we love onsen! For first time traveler, we suggest to stay around Susukino, Odori, or Sapporo station. There are plenty of restaurants, cafe, bar and accommodation around this area. The best advice to choose hotel/accommodation in Japan is to stay near the train station if you are not driving.
    01:28 Must try food in Sapporo: Miso Ramen
    4) Hokkaido ramen in Sapporo that you need to try is Ebisoba Ichigen - miso ramen with pork and prawn broth, super delicious.
    03:53 Visit Sapporo Mt Moiwa Ropeway
    5) Best time to visit is during sunset and stay until the city lights come alive, amazing view of Sapporo city. You can buy the ticket from Pelago: tinyurl.com/4tc88hrz with discount code: PEL15NAH
    04:24 Soup Curry
    6) This is quite different with other Japanese curry but more toned down or watery curry with lots of vegetables. We tried Suage+ famous Sapporo restaurant for soup curry
    06:10 ShiroiKoibito Park
    7) which is like Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory of Japan
    We thoroughly enjoy this chocolate / cookie theme park as we learnt a lot from the history, process, behind the scenes while still having fun in this mini themepark.
    07:50 Sapporo Beer Museum
    8) I mean when you are in the birthplace of Sapporo beer, of course you need to drink Sapporo Beer! This is one of the most famous tourist attraction in Sapporo which you can't miss it
    08:30 Genghis Khan
    9) or Mongolian style mutton barbecue is another must try food while you are in Hokkaido region. There are many places that does Genghis Khan and we tried Daruma
    10:10 Sapporo Crab Market
    10) Visit the Sapporo Curb Market in the morning to get the freshest seafood like crab and kaisendon or fresh seafood rice bowl
    12:39 Nijo Market
    11) If Sapporo Crab Market is too far, you can visit Nijo Market. Whilst smaller than the wholesale market, it is closer to the city center
    13:03 Sapporo Snow Festival
    12) Iconic yearly event in Sapporo where people around the world will gather to see the finest Japanese craftsmanship of ice and snow sculpture displayed in Odori Park. Check the website as the dates are always different every year
    14:16 Sapporo TV Tower
    13) Go up to Sapporo TV Tower to see iconic Sapporo city view from above. This is like mini version of Tokyo TV Tower you can get the tickets from Pelago by Singapore Airline tinyurl.com/4tc88hrz with discount code: PEL15NAH
    14:50 Gotsubo Oyster Bar
    14) Visit the cheapest oyster bar in Sapporo, hidden gem bar called Gotsubo Oyster Bar

    Great video guys! Would recommend to anyone, if you're travelling in winter, to pick a hotel close to an underground entrance near Sapporo, Odori or Susukino station. There's a huge underground tunnel which makes getting around easier when it's snowing. Otherwise you're going to be humbled when dragging your luggage through snow.

    So helpful. Normally, we escape Australia and head back to Malaysia to see family and surrounds for summer holidays. But this year we're planning a 3 week Japan winter itinerary ❄️❄️. Planning to spend 4-5 days in Hokkaido.
