So why not venture out and immerse yourself in the vibrant Sapporo nightlife? Our local guides are eager to introduce you to the best of the city’s after-dark activities, starting with a memorable bar-hopping experience in local izakayas. An izakaya is a unique blend of a diner and a pub, where patrons relish drinks paired with delectable small dishes. The intimate setting of a traditional izakaya encourages lively interactions among guests. Our adventure begins with a leisurely stroll through the bustling streets of Susukino, Sapporo’s downtown hub. Our first stop will tantalize your taste buds with fresh Hokkaido seafood paired with refreshing beverages such as chilled draft beer, Japanese sake, or shochu.
