Ganso Sapporo Ramen Yokocho

元祖さっぽろラーメン横丁

Hokkaido

A narrow covered ramen alley tucked off Susukino's main streets, lined shoulder-to-shoulder with tiny counter shops serving Sapporo's signature miso ramen. Born in the postwar late 1950s, the lane still keeps its cramped, steam-fogged Showa atmosphere, and it fills up in the evening as bar-goers and night-shift workers drop in for a late bowl.

Why we picked it

Sits one block off Susukino's neon strip and is easy to walk past; most visitors know Sapporo for beer and crab, not this decades-old ramen lane that locals treat as a post-drinking ritual.
