How Baby-Friendly is Odori Park?

Babies ride smoothly on wide paved paths and free stroller loans; multipurpose toilets offer diaper tables, yet no on-site nursing room means parents may need nearby malls for breastfeeding.

🌳 Odori Park – Sapporo’s Chillest Backyard 🌸 Smack in the center of Sapporo, Odori Park stretches over a dozen blocks and feels like the city just exhaled. It’s not your typical “big attraction,” but that’s kind of what makes it great.

Located right by the Sapporo tower, Odori park is a super charming park with great views. It was not super busy here and we made it just in time to see cherry blossoms. While you walk around sometimes there are stalls that sell Hokkaido local corn. Really worth trying.

Odori Park goes straight through the center of Sapporo. It's a great place to walk, try some street food, and experience many flowers. The flowers are especially pretty in spring and early summer when there's an annual lilac festival. The metro station stops near the center of the park and it's usually very busy.

It will be specially beautiful in the winter ...
