Yesterday
Even though it's located in the middle of Susukino, the exhibits were very fulfilling. I was very satisfied with the jellyfish and penguins. It was also nice to be able to enjoy food and drinks while looking around. It's rare to have a place that isn't affected by the season or weather, so I'm very grateful.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The only issue arose during check-in when I added an extra night over the phone. They initially charged me a higher rate, but I was assertive in explaining that my conversation with their staff confirmed I should pay the same rate as my original booking. After several discussions, I successfully got them to honor the rate I booked through the app. This hotel is just across the train station after we arrived Sapporo. Perfect stay!

I booked my Sapporo TV Tower ticket through Klook, and it was such an easy and convenient process! Redeeming the voucher was hassle-free, and I was able to enjoy a seamless entry.
Visiting in the afternoon was a fantastic choice! The views of Sapporo were absolutely breathtaking, with clear blue skies highlighting the city’s beauty. Odori Park looked vibrant and full of life from above, and the surrounding mountains added a stunning backdrop. The observation deck was clean and comfortable, with plenty of space to take photos and admire the scenery.
Thanks to Klook, I got a great deal on the ticket and saved so much time. I highly recommend visiting Sapporo TV Tower in the afternoon for anyone who wants to soak in the city’s charm during daylight hours. A must-visit attraction that’s perfect for all travelers!

My partner and I visited Shiroi Koibito Park through Klook, and it was an unforgettable experience! We arrived just a few minutes before the last admission, and the timing couldn’t have been better. Snow was pouring, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere that made the evening truly special.
Inside the park, we got a glimpse of how the famous Shiroi Koibito chocolates and biscuits are made—it’s such an interesting process to watch. The entire place has a charming vibe, and even though we aren’t chocolate or cookie enthusiasts, we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
Before leaving, we made sure to grab some Shiroi Koibito cookies from the shop. They’re absolutely delicious and a must-try for anyone visiting!
Highly recommend visiting, especially during the evening when the snow adds to the enchanting ambiance. Booking through Klook made the process super easy too!

The Mt. Moiwa Ropeway experience was amazing! It was super convenient to use – we just showed the QR code on our phone, and everything went smoothly. We went during the evening, and the views were absolutely stunning! Just a heads-up: it gets very cold at the top, so make sure to wear plenty of layers.
One of the highlights was ringing the bell at the top, which added a special touch to the whole experience. For first-timers in Hokkaido, this is a must-do to enjoy breathtaking evening views. Highly recommended!

Everything was on time as planned. The guide spoke Japanese + English. Arrived back in Sapporo at 8:00 PM. It was a good tour. No need to wake up early. Went to the zoo in the afternoon. Blue pond was beautiful.

You can visit Lake Toya, Showa Shinzan, Bear Ranch, Hell Valley and Mitsui Outlet in one day. It’s really good value for money. The tour guide Kelvin is very responsible. In addition to providing information about tourist places, he also shared a lot of information about traveling in Hokkaido. The itinerary is very Rich

The grandma who helped me put on the kimono was very cute and polite. There was a salesperson who could speak Chinese. Her hair design was very attentive and beautiful. The whole process was completed quickly and smoothly. I will come back if I have the opportunity.
