hey guys welcome to my channel tokyo foodie sarah  

in this video today i'm gonna show  you things you can do in sapporo  

sapporo is the largest city in hokkaido google  tells you that sapporo is famous for beer skiing  

and annual snow festival but if you're like me  and you're not a fan of beer and if you're not  

going in the winter this video is definitely for  you even if you are a beer fan who's visiting in  

the winter this video is still for you because  sapporo offers so much more than beer and snow  

so make sure you stick till  the end of the video number one  

visit the former hokkaido government  office also known as the red brick  

office the building was built in 1888 and  it has an american neo baroque architecture  

inside the building you can take a look at the  exhibits on hokkaido history the building is  

closed until next year due to reconstruction works  but it's still a nice area to take a stroll around

number two have a view of the sapporo tv tower  

it looks like another tower indeed it is just  another tower i swear there is a tall tower  

in the middle of all large cities in japan and  sapporo is no exception it does look very nice  

at night though and the park around it looks  like a nice area to chill for a date night

number three indulge yourself with a bowl of ramen  or multiple bowls of ramen the choice is yours  

sakura is famous for miso ramen  and this sapporo ramen alley is  

the place that started the  miso ramen trend in sapporo  

it started its operation in 1951 and today  there are 17 ramen shops in operation

i came to a ramen place called Misogin which  specializes in miso ramen i'm so excited for  

the miso ramen at Misogin you can place  your order on this machine i was wondering why  

they didn't take my money and realized that  i wasn't inserting cash into the right place  

make sure you insert money at the  right place and confirm your order  

you can give this ticket to the stop  and they'll start making your ramen

you can spice up your ramen with some  chili flakes, black pepper and/or garlic

number four visit the hokkaido university  

hokkaido university is one of the seven japanese  national universities inside the university there  

are quite a few spots that attract tourists for  example this ginkgo avenue the ginkgo trees become  

all yellow in the autumn and would present a  stunning view but do you know when ginkgo nuts  

fall on the ground and people step on them  the whole area stinks like hell just an fyi  

and then there's the poplar avenue these trees  were planted by students and is now one of the  

most popular tourist sites in sapporo or...  poplar tourist site HAHAHA i'm so funny there  

are also a few statues of Dr. Clark within the  campus i'll talk about him later on this video  

why not get some drinks from the convenience store  and pretend like you're one of their students

number five take a visit to the sapporo clock  tower the clock tower was built in 1878 as a  

theatrical hall for the sapporo agricultural  college which is currently known as hokkaido  

university as we've seen earlier this is the  oldest clock tower in japan inside there's a  

museum that displays the history of the building  and sapporo there's also a ceremony hall on the  

second floor they ring the bell every hour so if  you're lucky you may be able to hear the bells  

if you go on the second floor of  the tony roma's just opposite to  

the clock tower you get an even better view

number six visit Dr. Clark Dr. William Smith Clark was the man who contributed towards  

the establishment of sapporo agricultural  college currently the hokkaido university  

soon after dr clark arrived at hokkaido  as the university's vice president  

he organized the construction of a facility  where students could experience agriculture and  

also he was responsible for the construction  of the sapporo clock tower Dr. Clark was in  

hokkaido for only eight months however he gave  so much impact to the development of agriculture  

in hokkaido that his farewell phrase to the  students "boys be ambitious" became so famous  

originally dr clark's statue was only located  within hokkaido university and a lot of tourists  

visited the campus for the statue along with the  poplar avenue at one point the university stopped  

sightseeing buses from entering the campus because  it was annoying the students however the sapporo  

tourist organizations concerned that tourists  weren't able to see one of the most popular  

tourist sites in sapporo so the organization  decided to build this statue on top of the  

Hijigaoka observation hill that was a bit of a  history lesson i hope you guys are still with me  

within the park there's a museum  a church and a souvenir shop

number seven take a day trip to otaru otaru is a  city just under an hour away from centro saporo  

the nice relaxing vibe is totally  different from the busy streets of  

sapporo so it's great if you're looking  for a nice relaxed day in between

if you've been following my other  vlogs you would have probably seen this  

here it says you can only get the taste  here but we all know that's not true

otaru is famous for their glass  crafts and you can find a lot of  

small shops where you can purchase  those cute little glass souvenirs

you always need a coffee break right i found  this antique shop that also serves as a cafe  

there are a lot of fragile products inside so  kids are not allowed inside i ordered the yuzu tea

it was sweet and was a great energy boost though  i don't know if this person needs even more energy

lu tau is a sweet shop that is from otaru  

their sweets are some of the most popular  souvenirs from hokkaido i had to try out  

the cinq formage ice cream i think it means that  they have five different kinds of cheese yeah i  

tried to scoop out the ice cream with a spoon but  it didn't work so i just decided to bite into it  

that is so cheesy and creamy  but fresh at the same time

it literally tastes like  cheesecake but in an ice cream form

on the outside of a seaweed shop  you can find this sign saying  

we take care of your dad you know moms  and children spend ages shopping and a  

lot of dads end up waiting but at the seaweed  shop they can provide dads with some seaweed  

dashi tea apparently it's not only limited  to dads and anyone can try out the dashi tea  

number eight feel like you're not in japan

i have come to easter island or not this  is the makomanai cemetery in sapporo as the  

name suggests this place is actually a  cemetery but they've decided to build  

some moai statues and also some  stonehenge as i'll show you later  

and they also have a bit of a buddha head  just over there but they close at 4pm and  

now it's like 5pm so i won't be able to go  inside of that but this is the moai statue

so there are quite a bit of these statues  there's a few over there and some of them are  

wearing masks that's so cute and then on the other  side there's even more statues wow look at that  

the makomanai takino cemetery is  a large cemetery that is located  

about 30 to 40 minutes away from central sapporo

since this place is a cemetery please remember to  act respectfully that's the other side of the moai  

statues and i don't know if you can see but that  over there this thing is the buddha's head and  

apparently during the spring it's gonna look nice  with all the lavenders around around like here  

what i noticed is that there were quite a  few cars around the moai statues but no one  

actually came out of the cars when i had a look  they were all couples just chilling in the cars  

and then soon after i realized that the  sunset here looked amazing maybe the  

couples came here to have a view of the sunset  just a reminder again this place is a cemetery  

and this is the stonehenge area do you feel the uk  nest apparently you can go around this place but  

you're not meant to go inside the stonehenge  so yeah i am gonna report to you from here

it's definitely a lot smaller than the actual  stonehenge the clouds are really nice oh by the  

way on my way to the cemetery i saw these foxes i  think it was my first time seeing foxes in japan  

last but not least number nine spend some time  at the new chitose airport if you're coming to  

sapporo directly from other cities in japan you  will probably arrive at the new chitose airport
