Sapporo: sports meets food paradise
Sapporo is home to two major sports venues and some of Japan's best food. Whether you're visiting for the snow festival, beer, or just exploring Hokkaido, adding a sports game to your itinerary is a must.
ES CON Field HOKKAIDO (Nippon-Ham Fighters)
Japan's most impressive ballpark. The stadium complex includes restaurants, a hotel, hot springs, and a kids' adventure park. Even non-baseball fans are amazed. About 25 minutes from Sapporo Station by JR.
Sapporo Dome (Consadole Sapporo)
The city's all-weather dome hosts J-League soccer. 10 minutes from Fukuzumi Station on the Toho Line. The dome's retractable pitch technology is an engineering marvel.
Sapporo food plan
Morning: Fresh seafood at Nijo Market. Lunch: Soup curry (a Sapporo original). Afternoon: Game at ES CON Field or Sapporo Dome. Evening: Genghis Khan (grilled lamb) in Susukino. Late night: Sapporo miso ramen to finish.
