1-Day Walking Tour in Sapporo Historical Sights

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.

Sapporo TV Tower

Next, we will walk to nearby Sapporo T.V. Tower which was built in 1957, and stands 147.2 metres tall. This tower was designed and built by Tachu Naito, a Japanese architect who is also famous for planning the Tokyo Tower. We will head up to the top observation deck where you will enjoy spectacular 360 degree daytime views of the entire city of Sapporo. Your guide will be able to point to various aerial directions from the observation deck and inform the guests as to what specific location that is.

Nijo Market

The 2jo Fish Market is next on the itinerary. This fish market acts as a focal point for the freshest catches for the entire Island of Hokkaido. The array of seafood on display is endless and too numerous to even mention.Suffice to say, any sea-lovers palate will be satisfied here. In fact, we will have lunch here at one of the cozy stall type restaurants within the fish market.
