The second day of our Sapporo trip began with a bus ride from Noboribetsu to Sapporo. After arriving at Sapporo Station via a bus pre-booked in Korea, we dropped off our luggage at the Richmond Hotel Sapporo Ekimae, located near Exit 22 of Sapporo Station, and started our sightseeing in earnest.
For lunch, we visited Suage4, a famous soup curry restaurant located in the Miredo shopping complex. Even before the 11 AM opening, a long line had formed, but after about a 30-minute wait, we were able to enjoy delicious soup curry. The level 6 spiciness was particularly appetizing, and many reviews mentioned it was great for a hangover cure.
Afterward, we headed to Odori Park to see the clock tower and taste sweet Hokkaido corn. We had a pleasant time humming along to the songs of Hokkaido idols we encountered near the park. Our next destination was Maruyama Zoo. We took the Tozai Subway Line to Maruyama Koen Station and walked for about 15 minutes to get there. In the cool weather of 20.9 degrees Celsius, we enjoyed meeting cute animals like Japanese macaques and red pandas.
After returning to the hotel and checking in, we had dinner at Ramu, a popular lamb barbecue restaurant in Sapporo. After a wait of about 40 minutes, the lamb chops we tasted were particularly impressive. Although we had a one-hour dining limit, it was a satisfying meal. After dinner, we finished the day by enjoying crane games and other games at Round1 Susukino, known for its arcade. Here, we were lucky enough to win a Kirby plush toy in just two tries.
