Sapporo Travel Guide

Edit Section - Sapporo Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants

A favorite of sushi bars everywhere, world famous Sapporo beer is brewed in downtown Sapporo, Japan. The brewery, like other iconic brewers: Guinness in Dublin, Heineken in Amsterdam, Sierra Nevada in Chico, offers their guests guided tours topped off by a foamy stein of lager in the giant beer garden. Sapporo is a dynamic and modern city set in the northern reaches of Japan. Long before Disney had monopolized the market on Ice Capades, Sapporo was hosting the internationally popular Sapporo Snow Festival, entering its 58th year, this is one glacial extravaganza. Sculptors come from across Japan, as well as from a number of other nations, competing for pride more than for a frozen prize. The result is utterly captivating, ice sculptures heretofore unseen in size and scope stretch across a wide field. Enormous Harry Potter's, Beijing's Forbidden City, Admiral Perry's black ships, each rendered here in ice-blue, and white. Grab your down jacket, pack your ice pick, and come Basic Instinct the heck out of some frozen water. Hit the festival and stay for the skiing; youth hostels, modest Ryokan hotels, and deluxe resorts make this city a viable destination for all flavors of travelers.
