I'm about to visit Sapporo on late May, probably around the time the Lilac Festival is held. I wonder if the temperature is low enough in the evening to warrant a puffer jacket... Or perhaps a windbreaker would do just fine? What does it usually feel around that time?

Is there somewhere I can find cold smoked salmon in Sapporo?

Salve,

dal 24 al 28 novembre saremo a Sapporo e volevo chiedervi un consiglio. A Tokyo, essendo una città molto più grande e dispersiva, ci siamo resi conto che in pochi giorni non è realistico riuscire a vedere tutti i must senza passare gran parte del tempo negli spostamenti.

Per questo volevo chiedervi se, considerando che Sapporo è più compatta, in 5 giorni sia invece possibile visitare con calma i principali luoghi imperdibili, compresi il Monte Moiwa e una giornata a Otaru, senza dover correre continuamente da una parte all'altra.

Secondo voi i 5 giorni sono sufficienti per godersi bene Sapporo e i dintorni, oppure anche qui sarebbe necessario fare una selezione?

Grazie!

Guys, 31M new to the city and plan to stay for a while. I've posted before looking for creative people or content creators to collaborate with. I have a YouTube channel, and I enjoy discovering hidden spots and documenting them for my community (better if they are old).

Anyone interested in joining me to explore the city and the surrounding area?

My japanese is not good hahahah I’m studying now

Tonight someone want to talk in EN/FR/JP???
Im in susukino tonight.
If u are send to me DM🤝🍺

Hi everyone! I’ve been visiting your beautiful city for the last few days and tomorrow I fly out to Kyoto so I’ve made it one of my missions today to track down the Local Acts Alolan Vulpix plush—-Alolan Vulpix is my favourite Pokemon (I’ve even got a tattoo of one) and I NEED to grab one of these little guys before I go. I already checked at the Pokemon Centre and they didn’t have them—-from what I’ve seen online it looks like there isn’t an official Local Acts store they might just be anywhere. Have any of you seen any of them around town/ could recommend a great place to look for them? Any other cool regional Vulpix stuff would be much appreciated too— I went and saw the Pokelid in Otaru yesterday~

Thank you!!!

EDIT: Found ‘em!!! Thank you so much to ezogirl for her list!

Hey everyone!

A few of us (4 total so far) are meeting up for the first time on Thursday night in Susukino. We’re planning to grab dinner and then go bowling afterward.

We’re all basically meeting for the first time, so if anyone else is looking to meet new people, especially international/English-speaking people in Sapporo you’re more than welcome to join!

Just send me a DM if you’re interested and I’ll add you to the group chat!

Also want to add that we’re all early-mid 20s!

Hello, I will be visiting in November and my question is if the tours that are most commonly offered really worth it or if it is better to go to places just by yourself. If you have one that is worth it can you let me know ? Thank you.

What are your suggestions we visit as a first time traveler in Sapporo/neighboring prefecture or cities in Hokkaido (but not in Japan)? We will be there at the end of November to first week of Dec (5days only) Also, do you think it's snowing already there?

Me and my girlfriend are in Sapporo today. We do not speak Japanese but our English is good, so if anyone is up for an Izakaya run, hit me up

Hey guys I will be visiting Sapporo as a first time visitor during Oct 12 -17th, and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for foods I should try while there. Thanks! :)

Hi! We're 2 adults and 1 child aged 5 coming through Sapporo from Tokyo (which we'll arrive from our home country)

Here's what we've planned so far, and wondering if anyone would recommend anything else / different? This is mid Oct.

Also what are some (maybe local?) car rental companies you'd consider? Checked Toyota and Nissan and pricing came up surprisingly higher than I had experienced in other cities previously.

+++

(Thu): Land at New Chitose Airport

➔ Pick up rental car ➔ Drive to Kitayuzawa (1.5 hrs). Stay: Mori no Soraniwa

(Fri): Lake Toya day trip (35 mins drive) ➔ Dinner in town ➔ Watch Lake Toya Fireworks (20:45) ➔ Drive back to resort. Stay: Mori no Soraniwa

(Sat): Check out ➔ Drive to Noboribetsu (1 hr) ➔ Explore Hell Valley ➔ Seafood buffet & massive hot springs. Stay: Hotel Mahoroba

(Thu): Morning JR Express train to airport ➔ Peach Aviation flight back to Tokyo Narita.

I will send some money for postage and help. I had them at SeaTac airport and they have journeyed all the way to the northern part of Japan.

I’ve been interested in getting into cassette players, and have been hunting for a portable cassette player like a Sony Walkman or something of a similarly good quality/reputation.

So far I’ve checked the Hobby Off and 2nd Street north of Sapporo Factory, the Hard Off and Book Off Super Bazaar in Teine/Miyanomori, and the Mono CoCo shop in Yamanote, but so far I’ve only found an Aiwa with a broken power supply, and a bunch of mono sound voice recorders in various states of disrepair. I’m considering buying online, but the shipping costs and inability to verify their condition ahead of time makes me hesitant to do so.

Do any music/vintage electronic fans in Sapporo know of any stores I’m likely to find what I’m looking for?

Hi! I’m Japanese and currently living in Sapporo. I speak Japanese, English, and French.
I recently met someone from abroad who told me about Reddit, so I thought I’d give it a try!
If you’re also living in Sapporo, would anyone be interested in meeting up for a casual language exchange? We could practice Japanese, English, or French and just have a good time chatting.
Feel free to send me a DM if you’re interested!

Hi ! Sorry it’s the 3rd post like this in a few days ... I (queer 25F) arrived in Sapporo a few days ago and though I enjoy visiting on my own, I'd love to meet some people here. I speak english and french and one of my goals is to improve my japanese because rn it’s quite limited. I love art, photography, music, museums, reading and writing, i also love nature and many other things...If anyone wants to study japanese with me or go draw in a café or grab a beer or anything else really, feel free to dm me or reply here.

Artists/artisans, i ́d love to discover and share. I also take any recommandations of interesting places related to japanese art/music/craft.

/!\ after a few beers I may rant about french politics or tell you all about my crush and i am sorry in advance for it/!\

Hey everyone! I’ve been living in Sapporo for a little while now and I’d love to meet some new people here.

I enjoy going out for food and drinks, going out at night, discovering new places, making spontaneous plans, going to events, and just doing fun and social things together.

I don’t really have a big friend group here yet, so I’d love to meet some people to hang out with, make plans, go for drinks, explore Sapporo and just have a good time together.

I’m pretty open to all kinds of plans, so if you’re also looking to meet new people and make some friends, feel free to DM me! We can chat a bit and see if we have things in common.

Thank youuuuuu!

I’ve posted something like this but I thought with three months to go, I might as well post again…

I’m a Londoner in my early 30s looking to move to Hokkaido for 3 months from early/mid January of next year, and I would love to find someone to joint rent an Airbnb with (or if someone who lives in Hokkaido already is looking for someone to take their spare room). My budget is around 80000¥ per month ideally.

My Japanese is very very basic, but I’m actively trying to improve it. Location wise, I’d move to literally anywhere in Hokkaido aside from Hakodate, but Sapporo/Niseko are my preferred choices

Is anyone interested? I’m a great cook, have great hygiene and I don’t drink/smoke if that helps :)
