The caramel aroma wrapped up like a warm blanket as you step into the European iron gate. The robotic clock tower at the top of the red brick castle opened on time, and the chocolate pulp ran down the glass pipe, solidifying into a steaming note on the conveyor belt. The most dreamy is through the "chocolate time tunnel": the miniature scene of the 19th century British workshop awakened in the blue light, and when the touch sensor device, the mellow smell of cocoa suddenly spewed out of the vent. In the fourth floor experience room, my photo is being printed with a special biscuit box. The small steam train whistled through the rose garden when the oven "ding" sounded. When the music of the performance sounded, the dolls danced from the window of the clock tower, and the limited ice cream that was bitten at the moment melted on the tip of their tongues more than the snowdrops that fell.
Easy to redeem the tickets. Quite a good experience, especially if you have kids.

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.

The thrilling "tilted glass window"

The moment I stepped into the all-glass elevator, the green carpet of Chase Park suddenly spread vertically - in just 60 seconds, it rose to a 90-meter-high observation deck. The whole cockroach stretches at your feet: the algae rock mountains in the distance are stretching like Dai, the sparkling light of Ishikari Bay is flickering between the clouds, and the snow sculptures left by the ice and snow festival at your feet are colliding with the rainbow of the summer fountain. The most heart-warming moment is the dusk moment: the sunset melts the red steel frame of the tower into gold foil, and the electronic clock hands sweep the Ferris wheel in Susukino, when the whole city suddenly falls into the galaxy. The glass window reflects the smile of the "TV Dad" mascot, while the real couple is squatting on the ground, using their mobile phone to compare the night view outside the window with the official announcement.
Sapporo TV Tower was truly a hidden gem of a Hokkaido trip! From a distance, it resembles an elegant giant, towering majestically amidst the city, perfectly complementing the surrounding architecture. As I stepped beneath the tower and gazed up, I was overwhelmed.
The elevator took me quickly and smoothly to the observation deck, and the view from the window took my breath away. The entire city of Sapporo was breathtaking, with the bustling streets bustling with traffic and pedestrians, and the vibrant atmosphere of the city washed over me. The distant mountains and the city reflected each other in a vibrant, vibrant scene, like a breathtaking painting. Especially at night, when the lights came on, the interplay of lights and starlight created a vibrant atmosphere, creating a truly romantic atmosphere. My friends and I were captivated by the scenery, snapping photos non-stop.
The tower also boasts interesting exhibits and a souvenir shop, where I bought some unique gifts. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, offering helpful advice. I highly recommend visiting Sapporo TV Tower; it's sure to be an unforgettable experience.

the town is nice and of cos onsen is the most famous experience there , the snowy atmosphere is great for the onsen, good for going
I came here for the hot springs and Noboribetsu Jigokudani. Since it is not the peak tourist season, the town is particularly quiet.
The air is filled with the smell of sulfur everywhere, uh, it is very much like rotten eggs.
Except for a few restaurants at night, shops, souvenir shops, etc. are closed early. Walking on the street, there is only the sound of feet tapping on the road. Only when you walk into the restaurant and hot spring hotel, you seem to be back to the bustling world.
The town is not big, and it takes half a day to walk around.

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.

The moment I stepped into the arcade, the halo of bell orchid lamps separated the rain and snow outside, as if breaking into a bustling theater that never ended. From one chome to seven chome, the fluorescent signboard of the drugstore is intertwined with the warm yellow lights of the old and fruit store under the glass roof. The drug store clerk is introducing the limited honey melon mask in Chinese, and the giant raccoon cat statue at the door of the "beaver house" next door has been touched by tourists. It is said that it touches its stomach. Pray for Anchan. The most vivid thing is after nightfall: the 24-hour neon at the Don Quixote discount store illuminates the whole street, and the feather-weaved street artist blows the three-way line, and the sound is mixed with the spices of the "GARAKU" soup curry. When you pick up a spoonful of whiskey-flavored supper sundae in "パフェ, , wine, Sato", a train roared past Susukino Station outside the window, shaking the head bell orchid lighting jingle - that is the Meiji era hit the market beat.
happy shopping in this famous streetthere are some friendly stories and definitely a must go street, there are some multiple sub streets too

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.
