Sapporo, a special trip presented by the four seasons

Sapporo is a charming city that you can't miss on your trip to Japan.
In winter, the Sapporo Snow Festival, considered one of the world's top three festivals, is held, and in spring, cherry blossoms and new greenery color the city center.
In summer, the Yosakoi Festival at Odori Park and the large beer garden fill the city center, and a cold Sapporo beer adds to the liveliness of the season.
In autumn, the city center is dyed red with autumn leaves.
Just 30 minutes to an hour by train or bus from Sapporo, travelers will find themselves surrounded by the romantic canals and retro architecture of Otaru, the lavender fields of Furano, and the expansive hillside scenery of Biei.
Sapporo is a place where you can enjoy the convenience of the city center and the diverse and abundant nature of the suburbs all in one day.
