Overview

Explore deeper Sapporo with a friendly local! More than a guide, your Sapporo Explore shares their area. Discover Tanukikoji, a lively arcade since 1873 blending old charm with today's trends. This 900m covered arcade has 200+ diverse shops across seven blocks.
Beyond the high street, find unique hanko (name seals), cool secondhand stores popular with young locals, and fun UFO catcher/gachapon machines. Relax in cosy cafes and browse for souvenirs. Explore side alleys for hidden local spots! See a historic knife shop's collection.
This flexible tour lets you tailor your time: delve into arcade history or explore shops at your own pace, maybe chatting with shopkeepers for special finds. Your local companion ensures an authentic, memorable Sapporo adventure.
