Sapporo Sosei river park was created using land opened up through the linking of north- saouth underpasses to join Sosei River's east and west and create a place for people to connect.

Incorporating this history into its design, Sosei river park is a place where one cen enjoy a precious urban riverfront area and the beauty of the four seasons.

Odori Park is an oasis in the city center and extends 1.5 km from east to west. The history of Odori Park began in 1871 when it was constructed as a large-scale firebreak to separate the downtown area to the administrative district in the north and the residential and commercial district in the south.

With its development promoted by the growth of the city, the park was later turned into a relaxing space for the citizens as well as a place for international exchange.

Odori Park is recognized both regionally and nationally as a site for major events in Sapporo such as the YOSAKOI Soran festival in early summer, the Beer Garden and the Summer Festival in summer, and the Snow Festival and the White Illumination in winter.

Tracing its history back to 1869, Tanuki Koji is the oldest shopping district in Hokkaido. The origins of this famous shopping arcade developed organically when stores and restaurants began to spontaneously gather on the spot. Over time, the arcade architecture was constructed to shield shoppers from the elements. Nowadays, the district is almost a kilometer long and boasts over 200 shops lining both sides of the covered shopping area! There is sure to be something for everyone here with restaurants, bars, used clothing shops, souvenir stores, curios, and more. Best of all, the roofed area means you can stay warm and dry while you window shop no matter the time of year.
