Sapporo, day by day
Sapporo is a young grid city on a northern island, with a park down its middle, a red-brick government house, the beer that carries its name, ramen alleys, a shrine in a forest, an Olympic ski jump you can ride to the top of, a mountain for the night view and the canal town of Otaru half an hour away. Start with three days that walk the centre, go up the western hills and take the train to the sea, with the 2026 prices and hours the museums and railways publish.
