Sapporo City Tour - Day 2 (1/5/2016) Part 3
We left Otaru around 5.00PM and got back to Sapporo city. Since it is still early for dinner, wanted to pay a visit to all the tourist spot in the city as per suggested by the tourist map.
Actually, it is easy to walk around all these places because they are all nearby to each other.
First, we went to the Old Hokkaido Government building. Seems like this is a must go place for city tour. Nothing much here but to see the building and take some pictures.
There is a nice garden outside the Government building. We saw a Hong Kong couple having their wedding photo session there are the garden.
It is a very nice wooden building and a famous tourist attraction in Sapporo. To enter, you will have to pay the entrance fee of 200 Yen for adult and 180 Yen for children. Sadly it was closed when we reached there.
From the Clock Tower, it is just a few steps away to Odori Park. We have visited Odori Park the night before but we wanted to see the park during day time. Sunset is at 6.30PM and we managed to catch some sunlight when taking picture of the park and TV Tower.
We enjoyed watching the sunset at the Odori Park before headed to Susukino.
After hangout for awhile and had our dinner there, we took a walk back to Tanukikoji and pick up some snacks on our way back to the hotel.
Not to miss out the popular arcade centres in Japan, we visited some and saw some real players just like those video clips people shared on Youtube.
Want to try some luck for Star Wars goodies???
We also bought some snacks back to the hotel. For me, I always want to try out the local chips when I travel. For this night, I got for myself the Calbee Chips - cannot read the description but from the picture, it should be Tako BBQ flavour with extra dried bonito flakes :P
Yummy!
We also tried the fried breaded sausage from 7-Eleven for 160 Yen
That's the end of DAY 2....all shops were closed and time to go to bed.
Next: Maruyama Park and Hokkaido Shrine for Sakura Blossom

After that, we walked towards the North-West direction to locate the next tourist spot: the Sapporo Clock Tower

Susukino is the most happening place in Sapporo city. This place is packed with retail stores and malls, restaurants, karaoke, pachinko parlors, and red light area. Susukino is one stop away from Odori Park subway station and for us, it is just walking distance from our hotel (Dormy Inn).

Mission Impossible....No luck!
No need to feel disappointed because Dormy Inn Hotel provides free Ramen every night from 9.30PM until 11.00PM. We went back to try the Ramen. Taste good!
And...a must have to go with the tasty snacks! Sapporo beer for 200 Yen for Classic and 160 Yen for the Gold with Extra Malt.
