Mt. Okura Observatory

Reviewed By 619jeffry - Essendon, Australia

The view from Mt Okura Observatory is stunning, at night you can see the city lights spread out in front of you. The cable car was enjoyable. By the way, if you take the bus to the Observatory, make sure you know the time of the return bus, as taxis may be scarce.

The Yokoyama observation area offers views over the Ago Bay. There are several observation decks connected by a promenade, and take-out food can be purchased at the Tenku Cafe Terrace rest area. The surrounding area is rich in nature and a recommended hiking spot.

Nihon Daira Yume Terrace

Reviewed By Lynnushka

We stayed at the Nipphondaira Hotel, and we came across this Terrace while wondering about. It was a cloudy and rainy-like summer, so like in the hotel, no Mt. Fuji in view. However, the architecture itself is beautiful and tranquil in its own way, fitting right into the environment.

Sapporo TV Tower

It is 60 seconds by elevator from the third floor to the observation deck, 90.38 metres above ground. The entirety of Sapporo city unfolds beneath your eyes, set to a background of the magnificent Ishikari countryside, the far afield Japan Sea, and Odori Park, where flowers bloom in the four seasons. Command a panoramic view of the YOSAKOI Soran Festival, Sapporo Snow Festival, and White Illumination.

Sapporo TV Tower is accessible by underpass to avoid the cold. Huge and beautiful structure, contrasts with the snowy white surroundings in the day time! Great for photo takings from the outside and inside. Some souvenir shops and a small cafe that sells hot drinks and icecream at the ground floor. We had corn soup and soft icecream at the cafe. The entrance fee is 720 yen per person. You can either take the lift or walk up to the upper floor to purchase the entrance ticket then take another lift to reach the observatory floor which has 360 degree of beautiful views including Odori park. There is a tiny souvenir shop and vending machines for coffee and drinks. There is also a selfie booth that we had some fun taking selfies. Overall it was a fun trip enjoying beautiful sceneries from the top. There is a park next to the tower which you can explore too. Nijo market and Tanukikoji are also within walking distance from the tower.
