Living in Sapporo

So, we spent a couple of weeks in an apartment in Sapporo trying to get a sense of what “Living in Japan” might be like. But we also spent a couple of days taking in the key sights of Sapporo, and there were plenty.

Famous clock tower

TV Tower, modeled after the Eiffel Tower,

To die for views

We were fortunate to catch part of the Flower festival

We made it to Mt Moira Ropeway, with its cute mascots and great views (mascots are a thing in Japan, many famous tourist sites have unique mascots. We ended up with lots of little stuffed animals from many different places.)

Susukino (which has the advantage of my being able to read the 4 Japanese hiragana that make up that word) was great. Big lights, big city. Classic Japan (like Shinjuku or Shibuya in Tokyo)

God, hot dog and rocks indeed. Sapporo is awesome. Can’t wait to come back.
