[Hokkaido Driving Course] A trip to fully enjoy Sapporo, from stunning views to delicious food!

Sapporo Station in Sapporo City is the largest terminal station in Hokkaido.
When you're heading out to sightseeing in downtown Sapporo or to popular tourist spots, renting a car near Sapporo Station will make your trip even smoother. There are several rental car offices within walking distance, including under the elevated tracks on the east side of the station, so you can choose the one you like.

Just a 30-minute drive from central Sapporo, Hitsujigaoka Observatory offers an idyllic view of the Sapporo Dome and the Ishikari Plain in the distance.
You'll feel relaxed and soothed as you gaze upon the birch forests, flocks of sheep, and the scenery that spreads out below you, typical of Hokkaido.

From the gondola's large glass windows, you can see the primeval forest colored by the seasons, the city of Sapporo, and even Ishikari Bay.
If you take the cable car from the mid-mountain station to the summit station, you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view from the mountaintop observation deck.

Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium was the venue for the Sapporo Winter Olympics held in 1972. From the observation deck at the summit, 307 meters above sea level, you can see the whole of Sapporo city and even Ishikari Bay. Standing in front of the starting point of the jump, you can enjoy the spectacular view as the athletes take off in a flash.

At Kita no Gourmet, a long-established seafood market, you can find rows of seafood such as king crab and sea urchin. The adjacent Kaisen Shokudo Kita no Gourmet-tei has a rich menu where you can enjoy large portions of fresh seafood.

Decorated with over 120 varieties of roses, Shiroi Koibito Park is a sweets theme park where you can see, eat, and enjoy.
This is a place full of the charm of sweets, with a "Sweets Making Experience Workshop" where you can make your own original Shiroi Koibito sweets, and the "Chocolate Lounge" where original chocolate drinks are popular.

Arrived at Sapporo Station, the departure point.
There are plenty of commercial facilities and restaurants, so it's also a great place to look for souvenirs.
