Hokkaido | Walking in the snow in winter in Japan, looking for niche photo spots in Sapporo|||❄️⛄️❄️☃️❄️⛄️❄️

……。 The winter in Hokkaido is so beautiful ~ As its largest city and the most important transportation hub, Sapporo is also a must-visit place for people to visit Hokkaido for the first time, but many people only visit a few iconic attractions and rush to the next stop👀 Having been to Sapporo twice in total, I found that there are many places worth exploring in this city ~ Especially for those who like to take pictures, the following points are worth a visit👇 ……。 ❄️Sapporo Fushimi Inari Shrine Fushimi Inari Shrine in Sapporo was built in 1884. Although it is far smaller in visibility and architectural scale than Fushimi Inari in Kyoto, the red torii gate with snow scenery that stretches all the way in winter is unusually beautiful. 📍2-17 Fushimi 2-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 🕒 Open all day ……。 ❄️ Head Buddha The work of the famous Japanese architect Tadao Ando is located in the Takino Cemetery of Mamanai, Sapporo, and is also a park built to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the cemetery. Standing under the hill to see the Buddha from any angle can only see its head, only entering from a specialized entrance can witness the full view of the 13.5 meters high Buddha, immensely shocking. In winter the hills are a snowy landscape, and in summer it is a vast expanse of lavender. (There are also Moai and Stonehenge in the park). 📍Takino 2, South District, Sapporo, Hokkaido 🕒April-October 9:00-16:00; November-March 10:00-15:00 ……。 ❄️Moerenuma Park Noguchi is responsible for planning and designing the park, combining nature and art. The glass pyramid exhibition hall in the center of the park is very beautiful on a clear day! The park is huge, the wooded, mountainous land covered in snow is simply a wonderland. 📍 1-1 Minuma Park, Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido 🕒7:00-22:00 ……。 In addition, Sapporo is very attractive to me also Hokkaido University and Art Forest Park, unfortunately to these two places when the sun is close, can not have a good time to take pictures - I hope the next time to Sapporo can stay for a few days. ……。 None of the above places are in the center of Sapporo, and although the city as a whole is not big, winter buses require longer waits. So need to plan the route well ✨ ❄️⛄️❄️☃️❄️⛄️❄️

Enjoy a 5-day immersive Hokkaido adventure! This itinerary covers Hakodate, Otaru, Sapporo, and Toyako Town. Each city is filled with a sense of tranquility, authentic cuisine, and stunning night views. From gazing at the dazzling lights of Mount Hakodate, to enjoying the charm of the old city by boat on the Otaru Canal, to admiring the artistic atmosphere and whimsical sculptures in Sapporo, and finally staying at a hot spring resort on Lake Toya – experience the essence of nature, cultural architecture, delicious food, and hot springs along the way, and fully experience the essence of northern Japan! Even rainy days can't dampen the majesty of the water city and mountain scenery. The night view of the city lights is particularly soothing and definitely worth a visit. Recommended Attractions Hakodate Must-See: Mt. Hakodate Observation Deck & Mount Hakodate For Hokkaido's most famous night view, a visit to Mt. Hakodate is a must! Although it was lightly rainy that day, standing at the observation deck, you'll be treated to a breathtaking view of Hakodate City, a dazzling array of lights and layers of beauty – a truly captivating experience, rain or shine. Tip: The wind can be strong at the top, so be sure to bring a jacket. The observation deck is open from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, making it a great place to hike before dusk and experience the romance of Hokkaido as night falls. Address: Hakodateyama, Hakodate, Hokkaido 040-0000, Japan Kanemori Red Brick Warehouse The Red Brick Warehouse area is a popular shopping district, perfect for soaking up the hipster vibe or savoring seafood, desserts, and snacks. It's a great place to escape the weather, whether during the day or on a rainy day, and there are also a variety of unique shops worth exploring. Goryokaku Tower A surprise awaits at the top of the tower at sunset! Don't worry if it rains; the tower offers an indoor observation deck and exhibitions for shelter and photo opportunities, along with a unique 360-degree view of the star-shaped castle. Otaru Recommendation: Otaru Canal Boat LLC Otaru's greatest charm lies in its historic canals. A canal cruise is highly recommended, offering unique beauty in every weather. Rainy days offer a more nostalgic feel, and the reflections on the water are particularly captivating. Address: Otaru, Minatomachi 047-0007, Japan Opening Hours: 9:30 AM - 8:00 PM Sapporo's Secret Art Corner: Daibutsu (Head Buddha) and Moai Statue This popular spot in Minami Ward offers a chance to experience modern Japanese sculpture and capture stunning, artistic photos. Spring and summer are especially recommended, as the flower fields surrounding the statue create a breathtaking atmosphere. Daibutsu (Head Buddha) is open from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM from April to October, and from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM from winter (November to March). The Moai Statue is located at the same location, making it convenient for visitors. Address: 2 Takino, Minami Ward, Sapporo Toyako-cho: Lake View Toya Nonokaze Resort We spent our last night at a hot spring hotel. The lakeside view was truly soothing, with a direct view of the lake and mountains from our room windows. Even when it rained, the onsen was especially warm and comfortable, making it the perfect way to end our trip. Practical Transportation & Food Recommendations [Transportation Combinations] We recommend alternating between JR trains and driving between cities. From Hakodate to Sapporo, we recommend the JR Hokkaido Shinkansen, which is fast and reliable. Trains run frequently between Otaru and Sapporo, making travel convenient and weather-resistant. Driving in Toyako Town offers more flexibility, allowing you to plan your own rest time. [Food Recommendations] Don't miss the seafood donburi and milk ice cream in the Hakodate Red Brick Warehouse area. In Otaru, you must try LeTAO cheesecake. Toyako Town hotels offer a Japanese hot spring course dinner, which is incredibly relaxing. [Tips] 1. On cloudy or rainy days, remember to bring a raincoat and walking shoes, as some attractions require extensive walking. 2. Hokkaido has a significant temperature difference between morning and evening, so bring a warm jacket even in the summer. 3. Hakodate's mountain views are breathtaking at night, and rainy days even create a more atmospheric atmosphere! #HokkaidoTravel #HakodateNightScape #OtaruCanal #ToyakoOnsen #SapporoHi-StylishAttractions
