What to expect
Stroll through Odori Park, where the air is filled with the savory aroma of Jingiskan lamb and the sweetness of fresh corn. Each block offers a sensory feast, with vibrant displays of Hokkaido's seasonal bounty.
Best viewing tips
Visit in the late afternoon to enjoy the golden light on the park's foliage. Bring cash for local vendors and try the sea urchin early, as it sells out quickly.
