Cape Kamui was tiring but very beautiful! The blue of the blue sea is really gorgeous! But the weather was not cooperating; it drizzled all day, and then it rained heavily in Otaru in the afternoon, so we didn't get to do much. Oh well.
Booking tickets is simple; just exchange the QR code for an admission ticket at the ticket office. The usage time is quite flexible, so you don't need to rush. After exchanging the ticket, take the elevator up directly; the whole process is smooth. The observation deck itself isn't very large, but it offers a 360-degree view of Sapporo's city skyline at night, with Odori Park below—it's really beautiful at night. There's a souvenir shop up there, and there are also shops near the exit after going down. Overall, you probably don't need to stay too long, but if it's your first time in Sapporo, I think it's definitely worth a visit, especially the night view.
