After enjoying a bagel sandwich for breakfast at Richmond Hotel Ekimae, we left our luggage at Karasawa Hotel, where we would be staying on days 4 and 5, and began our full itinerary. Before the open run at Toriton Sushi, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the streets and markets, tasting Yubari melon.

At Toriton Sushi Kousei branch, which is popular enough to have locals waiting in line, we were particularly impressed by the excellent taste of the eel sushi. Afterwards, we walked to Sapporo Beer Museum, where we enjoyed a free tour followed by a tasting of Sapporo beer, experiencing the flavor of Sapporo beer.

At the Sapporo Factory Shopping Center shopping center, we enjoyed TULLY’S COFFEE in a space with beautiful planteria, shopped at a 100-yen shop, and experienced the arcade. The experience of taking sticker photos at Japan with extremely enlarged eyes and the episode at the game coin exchange machine became interesting memories.

On the way back to our accommodation, we soothed our travel fatigue by tasting the pure white corn we bought the previous day. We checked the hot spring information for Karasawa Hotel and, despite failing to make a reservation, had a satisfying all-you-can-drink experience at Aiyo Izakaya, which we found on short notice. Enjoying highballs and various side dishes, we concluded our fourth day in Sapporo.
