EasyTicket Odori Park
📍 Japan Sapporo 오도리
Odori Park is a long green axis running east-west through central Sapporo. Seasonal festivals and food events are held here often, so the same place can feel different depending on when you visit.
It works well as a reference route linking the TV Tower, Clock Tower, and Susukino area.

Useful tips
- Since it stretches far east to west, don't try to walk it end to end without a purpose. Split your plan between the TV Tower side and the sections you actually care about.
- During festivals, pedestrian routes can change, so checking the subway exit number ahead of time will make getting around faster.
- Once you lay out the route on a map, the amount of walking changes quite a bit depending on whether you start at the Nishi 1-chome TV Tower end or begin from a middle section. Using the official area guide to pick only the blocks you're interested in looks less tiring.
- During events, aboveground paths can get complicated, so check both Odori Station exits and underground walking routes.
Frequently asked questions
Is it okay to walk around in winter?
You can, but snow accumulation and ice are variables. During the Snow Festival, there's a lot to see, but you'll need winter footwear and extra time.
What should I use as a landmark inside the park?
Odori Park's official English guide introduces areas such as Sapporo TV Tower at Nishi 1-chome and the information center and official shop at Nishi 7-chome. Since the park is long, it's best to choose your target section first.
