One day Private Sapporo Highlights Tour One Day Muslim-Friendly Tour of Sapporo

A private tour for the travelers covering Sapporo. With a local guide leading the way, enjoy the city to your heart's content during this splendid one day tour visiting markets, shops and stadium.
Sapporo, under the auspices of the Meiji government’s “Hokkaido Kaitakushi” development plan in 1869, was designated to be a large-scale metropolis. The Meiji government was interested in advancing the modernization of Japan, and Hokkaido, with its rich natural resources. Sapporo, as the center of all things Hokkaido, has rapidly progressed in its role as a central city, growing up to be a true metropolis of 1.9 million people. In February, 2017 as hosts of the Winter Asian Games, Sapporo is focused on being even more representative as an international city that showcases Japan’s best.  After leaving your accommodation, you will first visit the famous Nijo Market. This market is popularly known as the kitchen of Sapporo, with the best of seasonal seafood, fruits, and other specialties on display as you walk around.

After Nijo market, you’ll ride the subway to the “White Lovers” (known in Japanese as “Shiroi Koibito”) Park. In this theme park, you will find an overflowing of candy charm, plus factory tours and of course the "white lover" confectionery itself, an institution in Hokkaido. You’ll not only enjoy a candy making experience, but also a learning one, specifically about the history of the brand and company, including a display of valuable antique cups. It goes without saying there will be many chances to enjoy the chocolate, be it white, brown, or black. White Lovers opened a new prayer room to accommodate their Muslim visitors. After “White Lovers” Park, you’ll return to the city center and visit the popular ramen shop  "Horyu" (founded in 1958), which is always bustling at lunchtime. The ramen here has a rich broth with a delicious infusion of miso, a perfect match for the noodles and toppings. Particularly recommended is the "Genghis Khan Ramen," which allows you to taste the two major Sapporo specialties of Genghis Khan and ramen at the same time.

After lunch, by subway and bus you'll visit Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium. Okurayama is well known as the ski jump venue during the 1972 Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo, but even now many international ski jumping competitions are held. Ride the lift to the 307 meter summit and admire the city of Sapporo and the Ishikari Plain spreading out before you. During winter, you can enjoy a particularly superb view, with the pure white snow dazzling the scene around you. Beneath the 307 meter summit’s observatory is the starting line for the ski jump. Here you can realistically experience the jumper’s feeling before they make their run. After enjoying the ski jump stadium, the tour will end with a return to your accommodation.
