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.

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...

When is the best time to visit Tanukikoji Shopping Street (Sapporo, Japan)?
