Flat covered walkway suits strollers and big stores steps away offer nursing rooms, but the street itself lacks diaper tables and tight, crowded eateries hinder easy feeds or naps.
Why 2-3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Enough time to stroll all 7 blocks, enjoy snacks, and use nearby baby facilities without rushing.
Covered seven-block stroll:
Walk the level, glass-roofed arcade across all 7 chōme with your stroller.
Tip: Start at 1-chōme and move sequentially to avoid peak crowds.
Gelato and crepe treats:
Buy baby-friendly gelato at La Giostra GELATERIA and sweet crepes from street stalls.
Tip: Order small cups and sit at nearby benches for easy feeding.
Nearby nursing and diaper rooms:
Use free facilities in Mitsukoshi, Parco, Marui Imai, or Le Trois for feeding and changing.
Tip: Check opening hours and head there before snack breaks for convenience.
Gachapon toy hunt:
Collect small capsule toys from machines in 1–3 chōme for a fun souvenir.
Tip: Carry several ¥100 coins for quick play and minimal lining up.

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. It’s a great way to explore and stumble upon all sorts of little ...

A very busy and vibrant place for food, drinks and shop. It’s a must stop in Sapporo especially for first time visitors. Walking distance from Sapporo station or with one stop subway ride. Suggest to walk if traveling light from Sapporo station to have a good view and feel of the city as well.

There’s a wide variety of shops and restaurants, from local eats to quirky stores and a Mega Don Quijote’s. One of the highlights is an older section of the arcade that has a more nostalgic feel — including a fun vintage clothing shop that’s definitely wo...

How could I have possibly overlooked this gem in my itinerary planning? This street is truly fascinating! 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...
