Shiroi Koibito Park is a sweet landmark in Sapporo! The whole park is like a fairytale town, full of romantic European style. You can see the cookie making process when visiting the factory, and you can also experience DIY. The best thing is the free tasting session. The freshly baked Shiroi Koibito cookies are fragrant and crispy. The outdoor garden has different scenery in different seasons, and the light show in winter is super dreamy. Although the ticket is a bit expensive, the coupons are very cost-effective. It is a must-visit for sweet lovers!
The whole place has the ambience of a theme park, it is very joyous. Nice exterior and garden, with some performance at certain times. The factory is clean, we get to see the operations. The shop has so many merchandise and also so many people. Overall, the experience is very good.

the onsen is beautiful and it is so enjoyable during the very cold frozen weather, you will like the spa experience and enjoy
I exchanged the tickets at the tourist information center near Sapporo TV Tower. A Chinese staff member told me to take the bus early, but I was too tired. I didn't arrive at the station until 10 o'clock the next day. I took a hot spring bath for the first time. Although I was not used to it, I still experienced it. At the same time, snowflakes were falling in the sky. I ate something before taking a hot spring bath, mutton and naan. I took a bus back to Sapporo that day. The transportation is very convenient, but you have to pay attention to the time.

Tickets are issued quickly and are easy to pick up. Although the observation deck is small and part of it is a shop, the glass is clean, the view is good, and there is interaction. I was given an ice cream discount coupon that can be used at the bottom of the tower. You can go up and take a look if you pass by.
It was my second time to visit Odori Park. This time I decided to climb the Sapporo TV Tower. The ticket was 1,000 yen, and it was 45 yuan on Ctrip. The ticket purchase was quick and easy to pick up. The elevator went up quickly, and the scenery outside the elevator suddenly opened up. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Sapporo City and Odori Park. The cherry blossoms outside the tower were brilliant, but it was at night, so I planned to go to see the cherry blossoms during the day.

It's worth a visit. In the afternoon, I went to Mt. Moiwa from JR Sapporo. I took a taxi to the entrance of the Mt. Moiwa cable car for 2,900 (the driver drove the wrong way, it should be less than 2,700). I bought the ticket directly on Ctrip. When I arrived, I went directly to the window to scan the code to get the ticket. I thought there were not many people on Mt. Moiwa during the day, but it was not the case. There were quite a few people waiting for the cable car. The cable car is divided into two sections. There is a cafe where you can sit down after the first section, or go to the top to see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. There are many elderly people who hiked up the mountain. They are very thin and carry hiking sticks. They look very impressive. In fact, there is not much to see at the top of the mountain. You can take a rest and take the cable car down. There are no shops at the foot of the mountain. Just walk forward and take the tram. You can transfer to the subway in the city. The fare is not expensive. Looking at the old man walking briskly, I suddenly feel that the meaning of travel may lie in these inadvertent moments-not how beautiful the scenery on the top of the mountain is, but the people and things encountered along the way, which make the ordinary journey vivid and unforgettable.
we went during the day to see the city covered in snow, and we were lucky to have snow falling during our visit there. the transportation was quite difficult, as we took the tram there, the station was around 15 minutes walk. it was an enjoyable visit.

Great views of Sapporro, esp at arpubd 7pm where we can gace thd day and night views.
It's very comfortable to visit alone. The night view of Sapporo is very beautiful. The ticket for the aerial observatory is 32 RMB, which is very cheap and worthwhile. There are also coffee and ice cream 🍦 for sale inside. The night view is charming and suitable for viewing at night. The flow of customers is constant^_^

I really like Hokkaido Jingu Shrine!
Starting from Maruyama Park, which you will definitely pass by, it is full of tranquility and beauty. Walking in the woods and the shrine, I feel relaxed and happy~
Make a wish for yourself in 2025,
1️⃣Insert a coin 2️⃣Bow twice 3️⃣Clap twice 4️⃣Make a wish 5️⃣Bow once🙏
Draw a fortune stick, 200 yen per time, English/Traditional Chinese version available
Please amulet: 2025 will bring good luck and eliminate evil! (800-1000 yen, depending on your preferences and wishes
Requesting a Shuin: Because the Shuin book is so beautiful, I took it home (the book contains a Shuin by default, a total of 2000 yen, and a Shuin alone costs 500 yen~
The Hokkaido Jingu Shrine area is not only the Jingu Shrine, but also has three or four other small shrines such as the Kaitaku Jinja Shrine. After entering the Jingu Shrine Torii, you will pass by them one after another~ I feel that this layout is quite amazing~ By the way, Kaitaku Jinja Shrine can also request a Shuin at the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine
If there is a chance, I would like to revisit the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine🫵
Hokkaido Shrine, the sign at the entrance introduces the three gods of Hokkaido Shrine, which was built by order of Emperor Meiji. There is a beautiful weeping cherry tree.
When you come to Hokkaido, you must visit Hokkaido Shrine, which is not far from Maruyama Park and Maruyama Zoo.

I have been here, this temple is very famous because it has 1000 gates. It looks very beautiful and unique. The higher up the mountain this temple is, the more mysterious it looks. I think at night no one would dare to climb it.
Fushimi Inari Shrine is a landscape that the Japanese respect very much. The shrine is themed with red color and has a lot of rich designs. It is most beautiful in autumn, when the red maple leaves and the shrine's architecture blend perfectly into one, which is very elegant.

When I arrived at Hokkaido University Q in Sapporo, I went to its museums and farms wherever I went. This is the largest university in Japan, and the museums are great. After visiting Hokkaido University and its comprehensive museum, I felt like going to college a few more times and studying different departments. Hokkaido University has beautiful scenery and few people. You can stroll leisurely and sit on the lawn leisurely. From the south gate, there is a small river and a central lawn. Walk north and then you will reach the museum, ⑨ Hokkaido University Comprehensive Museum The museum has a large collection of specimens related to the natural ecology of Hokkaido, covering plants, animals, insects, fossils, etc. These include species unique to Hokkaido, such as the Hokkaido brown bear and the Hokkaido short-tailed shrew (EzO naki-usagi), which show the unique ecosystem of Hokkaido. The museum first introduces history, educational philosophy, and Nobel Prize winners. Then it is module by module, and each department has a small exhibition hall, just like visiting many different museums in miniature. There are exhibits, places to eat, and of course ice cream. There is ice cream everywhere, souvenir shops, and even capsule machines.
Hokkaido University was founded in 1876. Its predecessor was Sapporo Agricultural School, which is the earliest higher education institution in Japan. In 1918, it was renamed Hokkaido Imperial University. As one of the seven imperial universities, Hokkaido Imperial University is the fourth imperial university established in Japan.
