• This tour will take us to popular sights that will offer insight into Sapporo, a “mocked” courtroom, a shopping arcade and will conclude at Cococo Susukino (in the heart of Sapporo’s entertainment district) for sake tasting. Explore the city with your tour guide and learn about the history of Sapporo, capital of the mountainous northern Japanese island of Hokkaido.

This tour will start at Sapporo Station in front of “Myomu”(The Circular Stone Structure) in front of the South Exit of Sapporo Station. Can not miss it! Please meet there at 9a.m. Your guide will greet you there and after brief introductions and smiles we will be off on our wonderful tour. Our tour will begin here at the Sapporo Clock Tower known in Japanese as Tokedai. This is the oldest clock tower in Japan. The building is of American design and is one of a few western-style buildings left in Sapporo. This is truly a symbol of Sapporo. An unusual aspect (which you will observe), is that the tower’s clock is powered solely by the force of gravity. We will tour the quaint little museum on the 1st floor before heading to the 2nd floor to see the inner workings of the clock and how gravity works to keep time.
