Arrived at Sapporo Station on the morning of Wednesday 19th 2024, after depositing my luggage at the hotel, I went straight to the park as I heard it is the city's landmark. It definitely didn't disappoint me. There were plenty of attractions to see and it was lively with people. Great place to start Sapporo tour.
Located in the city center of Sapporo, Odori park is flanked by two shopping districts although Sapporo station is still about 5 blocks away. The park is lovely and has plenty of flowers during spring. During winter, snow sculptures are exhibited here in February. Sapporo tower overlooks the park and makes for a good backdrop
Feb. 5-7th, 2024: Visited during the Winter Snow Festival, which was an impressive event I’d highly recommend to all. The park was the perfect location to host such a festival. Divided into a dozen or more sections, the park is spacious and in the heart of the city.
Snow Festival 2024 was great, despite crowds, the flow of traffic was managed well by the staff, so navigating the park was easy.
Many fascinating works of art and performances, as well as delicious food fill the park. I opted to eat at nearby restaurants after visiting the park, and doing so is made easy thanks to the thousands of restaurants that surround the park.
