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: https://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: https://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
