【Odori Park】
※Guide on the bus (without getting off the bus)
Located in the heart of Sapporo, Odori Park is known as an oasis in the city. Spanning approximately 1.5 kilometers, it offers unique scenery in each season: a vibrant display of flowers in spring and summer, golden ginkgo trees in autumn, and the main venue for the Snow Festival in winter. Strolling through the park, you'll be captivated by the interplay of fountains, sculptures, and lush greenery. This urban promenade is not only a haven for residents but also a symbol of Sapporo's charm.
Sapporo Clock Tower
※Guide on board (without getting off the bus)
Built in 1878, the Sapporo City Clock Tower is one of Hokkaido's most iconic historical buildings. Its white wooden exterior and red roof evoke the Western-style architecture of the pioneering era. The tower's large clock still chimes time, its melodious sound bearing witness to Sapporo's transformation over the past century. Inside, an exhibition room showcases Hokkaido's pioneering history and the tower's origins. Whether photographed during the day or admired illuminated at night, this ancient and elegant building is a must-see landmark in Sapporo.
Hokkaido Jingu Shrine
Hokkaido Jingu Shrine is one of Sapporo's most famous shrines. The main gate of the shrine, facing northeast, was designed to meet the needs of development and defense at the time and holds profound historical significance. A 5-yen coin is worth bringing along for your visit! The word "5 yen" (ごえん) sounds similar to "ご縁" (ご縁), meaning "wish come true," making it both interesting and meaningful. Leave a wish at the shrine and bring good luck home!
【Mitsui Outlet Park Sapporo Kitahiroshima】
*Meals are at your own expense. Please note that Mitsui Outlet Park Sapporo Kitahiroshima, located in the suburbs of Sapporo, is Hokkaido's largest premium outlet mall. Its spacious and bright space, combined with natural light and modern design, creates a comfortable and relaxing shopping atmosphere. Over 180 renowned domestic and international brands are featured, offering a wide range of goods, from fashion and sporting goods to household goods and cosmetics.
In addition to shopping, the museum also features several restaurants and cafes offering Hokkaido specialties, allowing visitors to enjoy authentic Hokkaido flavors while shopping. Every winter, the exterior walls are illuminated, creating a romantic and dreamy atmosphere.
【Date Jidai-mura】
Strolling through the streets reminiscent of Edo, past vintage city gates and quaint townhouses, it's like stepping back in time to Japan 300 years ago! In this rich historical atmosphere, you'll also witness dazzling performances by samurai and oiran courtesans, making this a truly unique Hokkaido historical adventure.
*Choose one of the two itineraries [Noboribetsu Onsen Dai-ichi Takimotokan]
This dreamlike hot spring paradise boasts seven different spring qualities and five different sources. As you absorb the energy of the hot springs gushing from the ground, you can admire the ever-changing scenery of Jigokudani River flowing through your window. This is one of the best health resorts in Hokkaido, and perhaps even in Japan!
*Choose one of the two itineraries: [Noboribetsu Hell Valley]
Noboribetsu Jigokudani is a treacherous valley formed by lava from a volcanic eruption. Home to over a dozen different hot springs, each with its own distinct characteristics, it's often called the "hot spring department store." The air is thick with the stench of sulfur, creating a scene reminiscent of hell. Despite the barren landscape, the springs boast exceptional healing properties, boasting a flow rate of 3,000 liters per minute, making it Noboribetsu's largest source. The water quality varies greatly, reaching 11 different levels depending on the location of the source.

【White Lover Park】
Shiroi Koibito is a well-known souvenir brand in Hokkaido, and the Shiroi Koibito Factory is a popular attraction representing Sapporo. From the history of chocolate to a collection of precious art, you can also experience the process of making Shiroi Koibito chocolate. Besides experiencing the making of sweets, touring the factory, and learning about the history of chocolate, the charm of Shiroi Koibito Park extends beyond its interior. The outdoor areas are also worth exploring, including the rose garden in full bloom in early summer, vibrant flowers, and a small shop selling Shiroi Koibito ice cream.
※This itinerary does not include factory tour tickets for the Shiroi Koibito factory.
From January 31st to February 23rd, 2020, we will not be visiting Shiroi Koibito Park but will be visiting the Shikotsu Lake Snow Festival instead.
The Hyōto Festival is a must-see winter event in Hokkaido. The pristine waters of Lake Shikotsu create spectacular ice castles, ice caves, and ice slides, each year featuring a different theme. Whether crystal clear by day or vibrantly illuminated at night, it's a photographer's paradise and a must-see.
*The tour will only visit Lake Shikotsu from January 31 to February 23, 2026 (Shiroi Koibito Park will not be visited during this period)
