This bustling part of the city comes alive at night. Restaurants, entertainment venues, bars and shops line the streets and illuminate the area. If you are fairly new to the city, try to stay on main roads and avoid wandering into dark alleys.
Bars & Nightlife
For bars, head for Susukino: it is safe, well-lit, and bright with neon lights. Being the famous beer capital of Japan, Sapporo is never short of a pint; be sure to visit a traditional pub known locally as izakaya. South of Odori Park is Susukino, the hub for entertainment. This is an area dense with bars, hostess bars, and nightclubs.
