Places to visit in Sapporo – Part II
Botanical gardens is a popular place to visit whenever there is nothing else to see and in Sapporo, the Botanic Garden owned by the Hokkaido University is one such place. Although it’s not like the other gardens/parks around Japan, it’s still filled with greeneries and is pleasant. You can take a picnic in the area but because it’s privately owned you’d need to pay a small admissions fee. They have a cool green house that is open during the winter times when the rest of the garden is close.
Nightlife in Japan is always something to shout about. And in Sapporo, the place you want to get to for a nice time with your buds would be at Susukino. It’s known to be the largest night district in the North of Tokyo. The place is literally packed with bars, clubs, shops, restaurants and karaoke joints. Oh and around the corner of Susukino, there is a little lane callen Ramen Yochoko where there is noting but sleets of ramen stalls selling the famous Sapporo Ramen.
You’ll also need to visit Shiroi Koibito Park; a kind of theme park owned by the Ishiya Chocolate company. This place reminds me of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. Do remember to get their well known souvenir which a type of cookie that is sandwich with a slice of thin white chocolate filling. I heard they are out of this world. I heard.
