Local knowledge for Sapporo
Where to stay
Most budget travelers base themselves in Susukino or within a few blocks of Odori subway station. Susukino puts Tanukikoji covered arcade and Nijo Market within easy walking distance, and the Namboku Line connects you north to Sapporo Station in under ten minutes.
Getting around
- Nijo Market opens around 7 a.m. A fresh seafood rice bowl there costs a fraction of what a sit-down restaurant charges, so make it breakfast rather than a sightseeing stop.
- A subway one-day pass covers all three lines, including the Namboku and Tozai. If you are making more than two or three trips in a day, it pays for itself quickly.
- The Snow Festival in early February draws enormous crowds. If your dates overlap, accommodation in the Susukino and Odori areas books out months ahead. If your dates do not overlap, the rest of February is one of the quieter times to visit and prices drop noticeably.
When to go
Hostels are cheapest in April and late October. They fill up fast during the Snow Festival in early February and the Odori Beer Garden events that run from late July through August.
