Sapporo TV Tower is an observation deck at the eastern end of Odori Park that's useful for getting your bearings in the city center. By day, you can see the grid-like cityscape; at night, the lights toward the park and Susukino stand out clearly.

It's easy to fit in right after arrival to understand the city's layout, or on your last day to look down over the places you've visited.

Useful tips

  • The view changes a lot between clear days and snowy days, so check the forecast and adjust your timing.
  • Photos of Odori Park feel different from the observation deck and from around 3-chome at street level.
  • When planning an itinerary, it's common to hesitate between the daytime view and the night view. Based on the official tourism guide's 360-degree observation deck information, going up during the day on your first day looks more practical for getting oriented in the city center.
  • On days with events in Odori Park, moving around at ground level can be slower, so keep your plans before and after the observation deck within the same Odori area.
