It is a historic fish market in central Sapporo, often called “Sapporo’s kitchen,” that has been operating for over a century. Visitors can explore a lively atmosphere of shops selling fresh seafood like king crab, sea urchin (uni), and salmon roe (ikura), as well as local produce and snacks.

The ropway provides access to one of Japan’s top three-night views from an altitude of 531 metres.

It operates year-round, closing only for maintenance or bad weather.
The shrine is a significant Shinto sanctuary nestled within the serene Maruyama Park in Sapporo. Established in 1869 by order of Emperor Meiji, it was built to enshrine the pioneering deities and act as a spiritual heart for the development of Hokkaido. Today, it is a year-round cultural hub, particularly famous as a top spot for cherry blossom viewing in spring and for hosting the vibrant Sapporo Festival in June.
The park spans 189 hectares as a visionary “landscape sculpture” crafted by Isamu Noguchi from a former landfill, unveiled in 2005. Highlights encompass the luminous Glass Pyramid (Hidamari) hub, 62-metre Mount Moere offering sweeping vistas, innovative playgrounds amid cherry forests, and the dramatic Sea Fountain geysering 25 metres skyward seasonally. Bike rentals enhance exploration of its art-nature fusion across all seasons.
The tower stands as an iconic wooden landmark in central Sapporo, built in 1878 as a drill hall for Sapporo Agricultural College, now Hokkaido University. This American-style structure, Japan’s oldest clock tower, features a clock installed in 1881, chiming reliably ever since. It serves as a museum showcasing city history and draws visitors near Odori Park.
Odori Park is a 1.5-kilometre green oasis that runs east-to-west through the heart of Sapporo, known for its beautiful gardens, fountains, and sculptures. A year-round cultural hub, the park is famous for hosting major events like the world-renowned Sapporo Snow Festival in winter, the Yosakoi Soran Festival and Beer Garden in summer, and the Autumn Fest in the fall. The iconic Sapporo TV Tower stands at the eastern end, offering panoramic views of the area.
A modern hotel perfectly situated in the heart of Sapporo, it is also steps away from the bustling Tanukikoji Shopping Street and the iconic Odori Park. It offers a convenient base for exploring city attractions and nearby ski resorts, like Sapporo Teine. Guests can enjoy comfortable, well-appointed rooms, a pizza restaurant and bar.
The hill holds poignant historical significance from the 1868 Boshin War. It is the site where 19 teenage members of the Byakkotai samurai corps committed seppuku (a Japanese ritual suicide), mistakenly believing Tsuruga Castle had fallen. The summit features their graves, monuments, a bronze statue, and Sazaedo Hall – a unique double-helix pagoda. Escalator access for a fee leads to panoramic views.
It is a historic hot spring town in Aizu-Wakamatsu City, boasting over 1,300 years of history. Discovered by priest Gyoki in the 8th century, it served as a retreat for Aizu samurai during the Edo period and ranks among Tohoku’s top three onsens. Silky sulfate springs ease high blood pressure and skin issues, with 15 ryokans along the Yugawa River offering rotenburo and kaiseki meals.
Also known as “Crane Castle,” it stands as a symbol of samurai resilience in Fukushima. Originally built in the 14th century as Kurokawa Castle, it was expanded in the 16th century by Gamō Ujisato into a pentagonal fortress with deep moats and stone walls. The white-walled, five-story tenshu (main keep), houses a museum on Aizu history. Surrounded by cherry blossoms in spring, it offers panoramic city views.
It is a remarkably preserved Edo-period post town in Shimogo-machi.

The “Five Colored Lakes” is a stunning cluster of volcanic ponds at Mount Bandai’s foot. Formed after the 1888 eruption, their ethereal hues – from turquoise and cobalt blue to emerald and red – shift with weather, seasons, and minerals like iron oxide. 4-km beginner-friendly trail links lakes like Bishamon-numa (rowboats available), Ao-numa, and Ruri-numa, passing bridges through beech forests.
It is a stratovolcano known for its dramatic 1888 eruption that reshaped it into multiple peaks and formed scenic Urabandai lakes like Hibara.

The lake is Japan’s fourth-largest lake within Bandai-Asahi National Park. Known as the “Heavenly Mirror Lake” for its exceptional clarity and reflections of Mount Bandai, it spans 104 square kilometres. Its acidic waters support limited aquatic life but host migratory swans in winter. Popular for boating, fishing, and “spray ice” phenomena, it supplies irrigation via historic canals.
