I can give you all information you need about Sapporo. Why? Because I was born in Sapporo!!! Sapporo is not a major touristic city in Japan like Kyoto or Tokyo, there are several things worth looking at. First of all, Japanese food. If you want to taste real Japanese food like sushi, ramen (Japanese noodle, tempura), you shouldn’t miss this place. And prices are half or one-third of those in Tokyo. Snow festival is also recommended. I encourage you to come a couple days before the festival starts. During festival, there are so many people and statues may melt because of warmth.
