15 SAPPORO THINGS TO DO & PLACES TO VISIT • Travel Guide PART 2 • ENGLISH • The Poor Traveler Japan

What Sapporo has to offer to travelers can be summed up in 3 words: snow, seafood, and smile. Snow because Sapporo, Japan's northernmost capital, is best enjoyed in the winter months. Seafood because as Hokkaido's largest city, much of the prefecture's ocean bounty ends up here. And smile, because in a destination as magical as Sapporo, it's something you just can't help doing.

In this video, we're sharing with you some of the best places to visit and things to do in Spectacular Sapporo!

This video was shot before the COVID-19 pandemic. Now may not be a good time to travel but it's always a great time to plan a trip! But note that costs, hours and availability might have changed due to the pandemic, so contact the respective establishment directly for more updated info.

11 Things You Must Eat in Sapporo | The Travel Intern

We've done a couple of food videos around Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, so this time we're in Sapporo!

Check out our ultimate Sapporo guide here:

00:08 - Ramen Shingen
You definitely have to try the Spicy Miso Ramen. The broth is authentic, rich and super flavourful! We especially liked the bar-top seating as we got to see the chefs in their element.

00:17 - Chaochao Gyoza
With over 20 types of Gyozas to choose from, be prepared to have a gyoza feast! Crispy and savoury, yummmm~

00:26 - Hanamaru Sushi
SUSHI~! Who can say no to that? Both fresh and affordable, we highly recommend this place. We spent only SGD17/pax even after that devouring a large amount of sushi.

00:38 - Kinotoya Bake
The baked cheese tart craze might have died down a little in Singapore, but if you're ever in Sapporo, you definitely cannot miss trying one from this stall!

00:47 - Sapporo Beer Garden
This place offers different tiers of buffets, so you can choose which one you feel like having. A little on the pricier side, but definitely worth it for that one treat-yoself meal! Our meal came with free flow king and snow crabs, and a popular mutton dish, Jingisukan.

00:57 - Fruitscake Factory
So you've had one baked cheese tart, it's time to indulge in a strawberry tart that has fresh, sweet fruits with a yummy pastry crust!

01:06 - Sapporo Central Wholesale Market (Kitanogurume)
We all love our Kaisen Dons, and here, the ingredients are fresh from Sapporo's Wholesale Market!

01:15 - Singapore Style Kopitiam
If you're craving some local Singaporean dishes, perhaps you could try here! The decor of the place really looked like a hawker centre in Singapore. They even serve local delicacies like Hainanese Chicken Rice, Fried Hokkien Mee and Satay!

01:35 - Shiroi Koibito Park
Here, get to explore the factory grounds of Shiroi Koibito and treat yourself to a yummy ice cream cone flavoured after Japan's very famous white chocolate biscuit!

01:47 - Flair Bar Es
Not only do you get to enjoy cocktails, you get to sit back, relax and enjoy Sapporo's only flair bartending show!

02:00 - Suage Soup Curry and Dining
Last on our list, but definitely NOT the worst, we have Curry Soup! Pick your own spice level and curry type (they have normal curry and even squid ink curry). Oishi!

Do you have other food that you'd like us to try if we visit Sapporo again? :-)

Our adventure in Otaru, a charming port city on the northern island of Hokkaido, Japan, was a whirlwind of cultural experiences and culinary delights, packed into a single day. With only 24 hours to immerse ourselves in the beauty and uniqueness of Otaru before boarding a ferry to continue our exploration of Japan, we aimed to experience as much as possible.

This episode of our travel series focuses on Otaru's most famous attractions, blending historical insights with local flavors. Our journey began at the Beef Cutlet Otaru Kurosawa, a renowned local eatery where we indulged in sumptuous beef cutlets, a perfect blend of crispy breading and tender, flavorful meat, a true testament to the culinary craftsmanship of Otaru.

As we wandered through Otaru’s historic Warehouse District, we were mesmerized by the quaint charm of the old buildings, now repurposed into chic boutiques and glass shops. These shops are famous for their intricate glassware, a specialty of Otaru.

A highlight of our visit was the Otaru Beer brewery, an establishment that prides itself on brewing beer using traditional German techniques. The distinct flavors of their beers, ranging from classic pilsners to rich stouts, provided a delightful contrast to the more familiar Japanese beer brands.

A boat cruise along the Otaru Canal offered a different perspective of the city. The serene waterway, lined with old warehouses and lit by gas lamps, exuded a nostalgic charm. This peaceful cruise allowed us to appreciate the slower pace of life in Otaru, a stark contrast to the bustling streets of Tokyo.

The Plumhouse Guesthouse, where we briefly stayed, was a cozy and welcoming place that offered insight into traditional Japanese hospitality. The guesthouse, with its warm wooden interiors and comfortable tatami rooms, provided a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.

One of the most enchanting stops was the Otaru Steamwhistle Clock, a unique timepiece that combines functionality with artistry. This clock is not just a way to tell time; it's a symbol of Otaru's industrial past, blending seamlessly with the city's modern rhythm.

Our visit to the Otaru Music Box Museum was a journey into a world of whimsy and nostalgia. The museum, with its extensive collection of intricately designed music boxes, some dating back to the 19th century, showcased the city's artistic heritage. The tinkling melodies of the music boxes created an atmosphere of enchantment, transporting us back in time.

An evening visit to the Kitaichi Hall Gas Lamp Cafe was like stepping into another era. The hall, lit solely by petroleum lamps, offered an ambient setting reminiscent of the early 20th century. The warm glow of the lamps, combined with the aroma of fresh coffee, created an unforgettable sensory experience.

Our culinary journey continued with a sake tasting session. Sampling various types of sake, each with its unique flavor profile, we gained a deeper appreciation for this traditional Japanese beverage. The local brewers' passion for sake making, along with their commitment to quality, was evident in every sip.

As our day in Otaru came to a close, we reflected on our experiences in this enchanting city. From the delicious local cuisine and the historical sites to the warm hospitality of its people, Otaru left an indelible mark on our hearts. Our final thoughts on this quaint port city were filled with gratitude for the rich cultural tapestry we had the opportunity to experience, even if just for 24 hours.
