Things to do in Sapporo, Hokkaido: The Best Mass Transportation Systems
Probably best known for its eponymous beer, Sapporo—the capital of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island—has maintained the youthful and open atmosphere of the 1972 Olympic Winter Games, drawing international visitors for its annual Snow Festival and its world-famous ramen. Those seeking out the full diversity of Japanese cuisine will want to visit: a city with a ramen-inspired theme park is one that embraces and pampers foodies.

The streetcar - tram -- is a great way to travel, as long as you are not in a hurry. The are are two loops, inner and outer. The tram will take you to the ropeway and Mt Moiwa. Just look for the 'inner' or 'outer' sign on the streetcar. You can also take the streetcar to the tram museum. You can get a discounted ticket for the combined streetcar and subway. By the way, if it's raining, the tram will lend you an umbrella. I've never heard of this before. The tram doesn't go as fast as a New Orleans streetcar, but it doesn't wobble as much, either.

We took the bus from the airport to Sapparo and then back. The bus was very clean and comfortable. They were very punctual, so do be at the bus stop at least 5 minutes before the scheduled time.

The Sapporo Subway is clean and efficient. You can buy a day pass from the vending machines, which have an English option. That will allow you to get most places you need to go at a fixed cost. Get a map, it's hard to go wrong, even if you do, it won't cost you anything extra. By the way, check the operating hours if you are an early bird or a night owl.
