Upon arrival at Sapporo TV Tower, head up to the 3rd floor, where you'll exchange your printed out ticket for an admission ticket. From here, take the elevator that shoots you up to the 295-foot (90-meter) Tembo Deck in 60 seconds. On the observation deck, soak up panoramic views of the city of Sapporo and look out for different seasonal flowers in Odori Park. If visiting during a festival — such as Yosakoi Soran Festival, Sapporo Snow Festival, and White Illumination — enjoy observing the festival from the deck.

Admire the 360-degree views of Sapporo from the JR Tower Observatory. With its 38 floors, the JR Tower is the tallest building in Hokkaido, reaching up to 525 feet (160 meters). Enjoy the panoramic views of the city from above. The JR Tower Observatory is easily accessible, being located right on top of Sapporo station. Choose to visit in the evening to admire the bright city lights at night.
