Odori Park

大通公園

Hokkaido

Odori Park is a free public park with no gates, a strip roughly 1.5 km long and one block wide cutting straight through central Sapporo. It is the site of the Snow Festival in early February and of the beer gardens in summer, and the TV Tower stands at its eastern end with a paid observation deck.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on Sapporo's famous attractions and overlook the serene beauty of this urban park.
