Saving up for Sapporo. Definitely this video gives a lot of information. That 6500 yen Holiday Inn is affordable. Thank you for this guide Kengo san. 👍

Great video Ken san, Sapporo is definitely a place for us to visit n our next Japan trip

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you Matt san. Sapporo and surrounding area are interesting place, a little different from other parts of Japan which you see traditional buildings.

[@KevinandDayle]

Interesting video with your usual usual useful information for those who would like to visit Sapporo.

[@tokyokenchan]

Kevin san Dale san, thank you for watching. Sapporo is not a difficult place to get around but I'd like to make videos for different cities in Japan one by one. :)

[@davyf7620]

Kengo-San! Much enjoyed this video. Brings back so many good memories of times in Sapporo. I stayed at a hotel that was right next to Nijo Market and I went there everyday while I was there! Arigatou gozaimasu!!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you Davy san! That sound great you stayed near Nijo market. It's a fun place to walk around. :)

[@chriscastagnetta]

This video was great! Thank you! As an American I would love to visit Sapporo! And as a meteorology/climatology student, I find all the snow Sapporo gets so fascinating! Looks like a winter wonderland!

[@tokyokenchan]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you can visit Sapporo during snow season. :) ❄️

[@JM-san]

Thank you for uploading this informative video, Kengo-san. Now I have to take note of those places you've recommended. I'm going there in the summer so I'm also glad I don't have to deal with the snow and strong wind!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching! I appreciate you joined the live too. I think it will be much easier to get around in Summer. ☘️

[@susantohalim5644]

Thank you Ken San for your sharing 👍 Hokkaido also amazing in spring & summer. Please come again and share with us 🙏

Thank you for watching. Yes, I'd like to visit Sapporo and other parts of Hokkaido again in summer to explore more. :)

[@kikkobro]

Great video! Hoping to visit Northern Japan in the future, will keep this video bookmarked for then. The snow falling at night time against the background of the bright city signs and lights is beautiful!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching and bookmarking this! Yes, the snow fall made the town look so special like a winter wonderland. :)

Thanks for the awesome tour of Sapporo! We plan on going later this summer. Winter is just a little too cold for us.

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you! I think it will be very beautiful in summer too. :)

[@postielinley1]

This is great. Will keep this in mind for when I go there in October

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching always! It must be very beautiful in Autumn in Hokkaido.

[@WalkingLosAngeles]

That was a really good video. Very much enjoyed going on your Sapporo adventure with you and the information you shared. Btw, we just booked a room at hotel you stayed at in one of the Kyoto videos. It looks like a really nice spot and with excellent rooms. Thank you for pointing us to it. Really looking forward to our visit to Japan this spring! Hope we get run into you somehow!

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching. Oh that's great! I wonder which one. Both are in great location that you can indudge yourself in Kyoto's old town. I'll be going back to Kyoto in Spring too!🌸

[@WalkingLosAngeles]

@@tokyokenchan The Gate Kyoto. The big hotel. The Ryokan hotels you stayed in look really wonderful but I think being a nervous Gaijin, i wasn’t ready yet 😂. Still, i can’t wait to see Japan. I’ve wanted to visit my whole life.

[@swissfoodie3542]

That is a really great video, thank you so much Kengo ! You share so much information with us, on how to get around, where to stay, what to eat, what to visit. Really great ! I am considering travelling to Hokkaido in spring 2025 and I am already researching for it. For Sapporo, it seems that the area to stay at is Susukino, right ? In Tokyo, I always stay in Shinjuku, because I like to stay in an area, where there are plenty of restaurants in easy walking distance, and also some yokochos. I dont care much about nightlife (but I dont mind it, and as two women, we never felt unsafe in Kabukicho at night). How many nights would you recommend for Sapporo ? Are 3 nights enough ? We like to have time, and not too rush. For an example, last year we spend 4 weeks mostly on the island of Kyushu, and spent 3 nights in Nagasaki and 3 nights in Fukuoka, and didnt get bored for a second.

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching always. Somehow this was one of the most difficult video to make in my library, so I'm glad you liked it. :) Yes, if you like to stay in Shinjuku, Susukino is the area you might want to choose. I liked the hotel near the Sapporo station, but I'd choose either Susukino or Nakajima Koen when I visit next time. If you enjoyed Nagasaki for 3 nights, 3 nights in Sapporo would be ideal. I stayed only for 2 nights and it wasn't enough time to explore even when many facilities were shut down during my stay.

[@JT_Jurutera]

Thanks for doing this video. We will be visiting Sapporo from 10 to 13 Mar. Will there be any snow left to see? Thank you, and keep up the good work.

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching! I think there will be some snow left or even still snowing. It can be warmer than usual this year but snow storm comes time to time. Wish you the best trip in Sapporo. :)

[@michiganwannarbor3255]

Looks like so much fun to visit in the winter snow. It's probably more challenging to live there and work.

[@davetessaro3599]

I just returned from visiting Sapporo and family in Obihiro. Hokkaido is so beautiful. I look forward to a return visit exploring the rest of Hokkaido . Thank you for the information on travelling in Japan.

[@tokyokenchan]

Thank you for watching. That's great you have your family in Hokkaido. I'd like to return to Hokkaido again in the future.

[@helenfoo388]

Thank you for this good effort. I really need this video to know how to manage and where to go in Sapporo during Winter! Thank you so much.

Thank you for including the different prices, especially from the Japanese view. Just watched a different video that made it seem like visiting was way too much cost, for me. Great you compared the tourist area and the Local areas difference in price and availability. 1 st time your video and it put Japan back on my travels plans.

Hello, I would like to ask you a question do you recommend Robot hotel such as Henn na ?

[@tokyokenchan]

Hello. I've stayed at Henna Hotel in Asakusa, but it's pretty much the same as other hotels. It was very clean and nice hotel. I was using coupon so a person came out from behind the robot and did my check in process. They come out when you need assistant. :)

Very helpful video, thanks! Im visiting in March for 1 day before flying to Tokyo the next day. What would you recommend for a 1 day trip?

I think it would be great to visit Okurayama lift if it's open and Susukino at night. I hope you have a great trip in Sapporo and Tokyo. Thank you for watching. :)

[@tokyokenchan]

Hello. Thank you for watching. The time you can see snow for sure in Sapporo is end of December to February, but amount of snow may differ each year. It’s usually cold when it has good snow ❄️ but if you dress warm, get boots 🥾 and stay in the city center near station, you can avoid walking long in the cold weather. March might be a little warmer but sometimes snow melts early.
