Very close to Sapporo JR Station, across the street from Tokyu Department Store; there is a paid parking lot opposite the hotel, but sometimes there are no parking spaces. The breakfast ingredients are fresh and delicious, including sashimi and salmon roe, which are served from 6:30 to 10:00 and can be enjoyed slowly. After shopping outside, you can go to the lobby for coffee (free). The room is spacious enough, but the window to the outside is very small. There is a self-service laundry room. After leaving the hotel, walk along the street to Tanukikoji. You will first pass the timekeeping counter and then go to Odori Park. Then you will find Tanukikoji 1 and 2. If you are afraid of the cold, you can also go down to the underground street in Odori Park.

The room is small and the suitcases cannot be completely flattened. If you stay in the hotel, the hotel will provide water, which is not bad! You can also take a bath in the basement, using a Dyson hair dryer, which is pretty good! If you dare to take a bath, you can have the courage to try it.

Today is my second time to join your one day trip in Hokkaido and I happened to have the same tour guide for both times. I am really happy🥳because the tour guide Tenzo is a very good tour guide, very lively, and can accurately state the key points. He can speak Chinese, English and Japanese, which is very good👍👍 Today's itinerary has beautiful scenery and is worth a visit!
