Partners can stroll dry beneath the glass roof, snap tanuki photos, share parfaits and bar-hop nearby, but peak-time crowds and bright neon lighting reduce quiet, romantic ambience.

Tip: Rub the tanuki’s belly for good luck before you continue exploring

Tip: Go early or book ahead to avoid the dinner rush

We passed these streets and finally went through. There are lots of shops and eateries. The Beer Gardens were being set up nearby. It’s definitely in the hub of Sapporo, near Odori park, etc. Just don’t go to Exchangers to get currency exchanged. We made that mistake.

I love this shopping street – it’s like a covered arcade but still open at both ends, which gives it a nice open-air feel while still being sheltered. There’s a huge mix of shops and restaurants, and honestly, you could spend hours here if you wanted. It goes on forever, so if you have time, try walking it from one end to the other.

I was particularly surprised and delighted to find a Singaporean shop, Kura Kura nestled amongst the diverse offerings here. Vintage enthusiasts will be in heaven with the abundance of vintage stores starting with 2 separate units of 2nd Street, and the presence of Komeda's Coffee is a welcome...
