Top 6 Scenic Walking Areas in Sapporo, Hokkaido
Probably best known for its eponymous beer, Sapporo—the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island—has maintained the youthful and open atmosphere of the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, drawing international visitors for its annual Snow Festival and its world-famous ramen. Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

The Japanese love cherry blossoms, not only for their beauty, but for what they represent. The cherry blossoms flower only briefly, then they fade away. Life is short, like the cherry blossoms; we are born, we live and then we die. -- enjoy life while you can. This park is a favourite venue to view the cherry blossoms. It's rather unkempt and at other times of the year is is mainly used by runners and cyclists. Spring comes later in Hokkado, Japan's colder northern-most island, so you have time to prepare for the cherry blossom viewing season. By the way, "sakura" in Japanese cherry blossom, the name pops up quite frequently.

This place is just amazing - Planned by world famous architect tadao Ando, it features a big vareity of sculputures from many cuktures. It's free of charge (although you might get asked to pay "donation money" for the place - like I was). It offers a small cafe, and a big parking lot. Absolutely must visit.

This is the main street running from JR Sapporo to Odori. It is well lit with commercial buildings on both sides. You can also find the underground walkway and shopping beneath the road. Good alternative to escape from the cold weather.
