Mesto má čo ponúknuť, no najznámejšie je pre svoje ikonické pivo. Odporúčame vám navštíviť Sapporo počas zimy.

SNEHOVÝ FESTIVAL

Odporúčame navštíviť aj pivnú záhradu Sapporo, ktorá sa nachádza v tej istej budove. Nájdete tu niekoľko reštaurácií, ale aj pivnice s atmosférou, ktoré ponúkajú „all you can drink“ a „all you can eat“.

TV VEŽA

Nenechajte si ujsť návštevu podzemného nákupného centra Aurora Town spojeného s televíznou vežou. Mesto Aurora sa tiahne 312 metrov a je domovom mnohých fantastických obchodov.

HODINOVÁ VEŽA

Ďalšou ikonickou budovou v Sappore je hodinová veža Tokeidai. Dom, v ktorom sa nachádza hodinová veža, bol postavený v roku 1878 a v roku 1881 boli nainštalované hodiny z Bostonu.

The building has had several purposes but today it is a popular museum depicting the history of the house, the clock, and Sapporo.

TOVÁRŇ NA ČOKOLÁDU ISHIYA

Treat yourself to a visit to the Ishiya chocolate factory and taste their famous white chocolate cakes called “shiroi kobito”. If you take the guided tour, you can follow the entire manufacturing process of the chocolate bars. There is also the opportunity to create your chocolate cakes.

The market is best known for specializing in seafood such as crab, sea urchin, salmon roe, squid, and hrebenatky. Využite šancu ochutnať čerstvo ulovené morské plody v jednej z reštaurácií na trhu.

Trh je otvorený denne od 06:00 do 17:00.

Nájdete tu trh Nijo in central Sapporo which is an indoor market that stretches along an entire block. This market also has a fantastic range of seafood and a strong recommendation is to visit the market early and enjoy a seafood breakfast at one of the restaurants.

The market is open daily from 07.00 – 18.00.

SUSUKINO

If you want to have a fun night out, you should go to Susukino, which is Japan’s largest entertainment district in Japan north of Tokio. Here it is packed with bars, restaurants, and shops.

Ak chcete stráviť celú noc vonku, odporúčame návštevu jedného z karaoke barov v okolí alebo pre nadšencov hazardných hier návštevu automatu pachinko. Len pozor, aby celý cestovný fond nezmizol za jeden večer.

Also, take the opportunity to visit Ramen Yokocho which is a narrow alley with reštaurácie a v ktorej sa podáva slávny ramen v Sappore. Počas zimného festivalu sa v Susukino koná súťaž ľadových sôch.

OBCHODNÉ

The village functions as an open-air museum and consists of 60 different buildings representing classic houses from all over the island of Hokkaido between 1868 and 1926.

Prejdite sa pomedzi charakteristické domy a potom pokračujte do zelenej záhrady s malými svätyňami. Perfektný výlet pre celú rodinu.

MT. DEVIŤ

Visit Mt. Moiwa and experience a view that is hard to beat. From the top of the mountain, you get a fantastic view of the city, the Mashike Mountains, and Ishikari Bay. It is supposed to be especially beautiful in the evening and is said to be one of the best views in Japan.

Pre rýchlych sa môžete vydať na túru na horu k vyhliadke, no pre tých pohodlnejších odporúčame lanovku Mt. Moiwa Ropeway, čo je lanovka, ktorá vás vyvezie na vrchol v dvoch etapách.

At the top, you will find an observation deck where you can look out over the city. There is also a planetarium, a theater, and a restaurant that offers a nice view of the city.

Hora je tiež domovom lyžiarskeho strediska Mount Moiwa, ktoré ponúka niekoľko zjazdoviek, ale sú na druhej strane hory, takže sa k nim nedostanete lanovkou.

BOTANICKÁ ZÁHRADA

Hokkaido University Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful gardens in Sapporo and has a lot to offer. Let go of all the stress and stroll around among beautiful flowers and stately trees.

Záhrada má niekoľko malých záhrad s rôznymi témami, vrátane záhrady plnej orgovánových kríkov. Existujú tiež greendomy, ktoré môžete navštíviť, ako aj múzeum, kde sa dozviete viac o histórii Hokkaida.

Zbaľte si piknik a užite si chvíle oddychu ďaleko od zhonu mesta.

LYŽOVANIE

Ak navštívite Sapporo počas zimy, je nevyhnutnosťou navštíviť niektorú z mestských zjazdoviek.

Lyžiarske stredisko Teine is the largest and most famous ski resort in Sapporo. Among other things, it was here that the Winter Olympics were held in 1972. The facility is only 40 minutes from the city center and has a large selection of ski slopes divided into two areas, the Highland zone and the Olympia zone. Where the first mentioned is for the slightly more experienced skiers and has a snow park with jumps, boxes, and rails.

Lyžiarske stredisko Kokusai sa nachádza na okraji mesta Sapporo a je výrazne menšie ako lyžiarske stredisko Teine, no množstvom a kvalitou snehu sa dá len ťažko prekonať. To je dôvod, prečo sa mnohí rozhodnú ísť sem. Kokusai je zameraný hlavne na začiatočníkov alebo stredne pokročilých lyžiarov s takmer iba modrými a green svahy, vďaka čomu je ideálnym miestom pre rodiny s deťmi.

PARKY

Nájdete tu Odori Park right in the center of Sapporo and this is where the annual snow festival is held. Even in summer, it is worth visiting for its magnificent flower gardens, an extensive selection of trees, fountains, and sculptures. The park stretches along 15 blocks and at one end you will find the previously mentioned TV tower.

Park Moerenuma je veľký park na okraji mesta Sapporo, ktorý má čo ponúknuť. Okrem svojej veľkej green areas, there are several uniquely designed areas such as the large Hidamari glass pyramid, Mount Moere which offers views of the entire park, a sea fountain with water showers, and Moere Beach which is an artificial swimming beach.

Pamätný park Asahiyama was opened in 1970 to celebrate Sapporo’s 100th anniversary. The park has an observation deck that offers a spectacular view of the city and the sea. It is the main reason tourists choose to visit the site, but the park also offers hiking trails, rest areas, and playgrounds for the children.

ZOO MARUYAMA

Maruyama Zoo is not a huge zoo, but still worth visiting as it is one of the country’s largest nature-oriented zoos. They put a lot of focus on creating natural habitats for the animals so that they will act according to their instincts. This gives visitors an authentic experience.

Maruyama Zoo is home to over 180 different mammals, birds, and reptiles, but the animal that attracts the most visitors is the polar bear. Take the chance to see polar bears up close, it may be your only chance to see a polar bear as they are on the verge of extinction.

OKURAYAMA

Okurayama ski jump stadium is a famous place in Sapporo because the Winter Olympic Games were held here in 1972. Here the participants competed in 90-meter ski jumping. The slope is still used today for various ski jumping competitions such as the world championships.

Keď sa skokanský mostík nepoužíva, je to perfektný výhľadový bod. Na vrchole je observatórium, na ktoré sa dá dostať sedačkovou lanovkou. Odtiaľ sa vám naskytne nádherný výhľad na krásne Sapporo.

Don’t miss visiting the Sapporo Olympic Museum located at the foot of the ski jumping hill. Here you can see, among other things, an exhibition about the 1972 Olympics. The museum also offers several different sports simulation games such as ski jumping, ice skating, and hockey. The games are included in the museum entrance fee.

STANICA SAPPORO

You will find Sapporo Station right in the center which is the city’s primary train station, but is worth visiting for several other reasons. Adjacent to the station building are several shopping centers and restaurants.

Impozantná vyhliadková plošina T38 sa nachádza vo veži JR, ktorá sa týči nad stanicou a je veľkým dôvodom, prečo sa mnohí rozhodnú túto budovu navštíviť. So svojimi impozantnými 160 metrami nad zemou sa vám naskytne krásny výhľad na Sapporo.

Tu nájdete aj Sapporo Ramen Republic, vnútri jedného z nákupných centier v budove stanice. Témou je Ramen, čo je špecialita Sappora. Nájdete tu aj osem malých Ramen reštaurácií s rôznymi variáciami na jedlo.

JOZENKAI

Jozenkai je malé mestečko nachádzajúce sa asi 1 hodinu od Sappora a je známe všetkými svojimi Onsen a Ryokan. Ak chcete autentický zážitok z japonských horúcich prameňov a ubytovania, sem by ste mali ísť.

Ak sa rozhodnete zostať v Ryokan, zažijete tradičné Japonsko, ako aj jeho živú kultúru a kultúru jedla. Väčšina Ryokan má pre svojich hostí vlastný Onsen, ale mnohé vám umožňujú navštíviť jeden z horúcich prameňov bez toho, aby ste tam zostali.

In addition to visiting Jozenkai for its hot springs, many people choose to go here in the fall to experience the beautiful nature and see the autumn changes of the trees. Along the Allen and the side valleys, the colors become extra strong. The best month to experience this is October.
