Located along the west line of the city tram that runs through the city of Sapporo, this popular restaurant has been serving carefully made Chinese noodles since 2006. My partner especially loves the flavor, so we decided to go there for the first time in a while! Then we noticed that the name of the restaurant had changed slightly to "Bon no Kaze." It used to be called Sugimura Chinese Noodles, but now it's gone...

Sapporo seems to have more cafes scattered around than other places, and there are cafes that have lines of people waiting in places that you would never visit if you didn't know they existed because of their convenient locations.

Kotoni in Nishi Ward is known as Sapporo's second busiest area and is also said to be the place where Tondenhei soldiers first settled. It is easily accessible by the Tozai Line of the city subway.

When you think of tourist spots in the center of Sapporo, the first thing that comes to mind is the Sapporo Clock Tower. Unfortunately, it is not very noticeable due to the high-rise buildings surrounding it, and it is also ridiculed as one of the three most disappointing tourist spots in Japan. The Sapporo TV Tower, which is within walking distance from the clock tower, has a strong presence. Since it is in the center of Sapporo, there are other things to see in the area...

After a long string of hot days in Sapporo, I wanted to eat Okinawa soba, so I did some research and came across an Okinawan restaurant that opened this year in Kita-ku. Among the many different menu items, the cartilage soki soba made with homemade noodles is also recommended, so I went there for lunch, which is only open on weekends...

There are many big parks in Sapporo that feel like big roads, and Nakajima Park is a special place in Sapporo. It is easily accessible from the center of the city. The scenery changes with the seasons, so you will never get bored of visiting Nakajima Park. This time, I took the Sapporo-Numazu Line (Gakuentoshi Line) on a whim to go to the park in the suburbs.
