Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Create your own day of adventure in one of Japan's most modern cities. Sightsee, shop, dine and explore! After a scenic ride passing dense forests and rolling countryside, your motor coach will arrive at Odori Park, truly the city's "central park." spanning 13 blocks. Peruse the underground shopping town, elaborate gardens, promenades and pushcart vendors. You may want to stop by the Botanic Garden. Established in 1886, it's part of Hokkaido University, and preserves part of the forest that covered the Ishikari Plain. Visit the alpine garden, greenhouse, and small museum that hosts artifacts of the Ainu people (The aboriginal people of the area.) A short 15- minute cab ride will bring you to the Sapporo Beer Museum, where you can learn about (and taste) one of the oldest and still most popular beer brands in Japan and around the world. It's your day to enjoy.
