    What you'll see and do

    1. Hokkaido Jingu

      Our tour begins here at The Hokkaido Shrine. Constructed in 1869 by order of the emperor, Hokkaido Shrine(Jingu) was founded to support Hokkaido’s early colonists. It is dedicated to the Shinto deities that are associated with Hokkaido. This shrine sits in the lush 70-hectare Maruyama Park. This area is beautiful any season throughout the year. One of the delights of this tour will be the opportunity for you to “reach in a box” and pull out a strip of paper containing a written message of your fortune. You will also have the chance to select an omamori(amulets). These include amulets for safe travel, healing from illness, safe childbirth, and academic/job success, among many other blessings. Finally, as a member of this shrine tour, you will be able to write on a wooden “ema”(votive tablet) and then tying it on a wooden stand at the shrine. Your guide will help you with these shrine rituals as well as teach you basic shrine etiquette as not to offend the gods.

    2. Sapporo Central Wholesale Market Jogai Market

      Next, we will head to The Central Wholesale Market. This is not just a tourist spot but very loved by locals as well. It’s huge with more than 80 stores and restaurants lined along the street. Seafood lovers will be in awe of the offerings. Tons of snow and king crab, urchin, salmon, scallops, oysters, blue fin tuna and on and on. Guests are able to select their seafood on the spot and eat it either raw or grilled. There are also numerous stalls selling fresh fruits and vegetables.

Each tin comes with your personalized photo on it. Then, it is off to join the chocolate tasting session and to decorate your own Shiroi Koibito cookie.(fees apply).

    Kid-friendly Walking Tour

    We had such a fantastic time with Scott showing us around Sapporo! Our two kids, aged 6 and 10, weren't used to the snow and cold, but Scott was super accommodating and really engaged with them. He even adjusted our itinerary to give us extra time at the Shiroi Koibito chocolate theme park, which was a hit with the kids! We also visited the beautiful Hokkaido Jingu shrine, which was fascinating and gave us a glimpse into the rich Japanese culture. We were lucky enough to catch a procession of Shinto priests during our visit too. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we’d definitely recommend this trip to other parents traveling with kids!

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued Guest, We are grateful for your review! It's wonderful to know that your family had an amazing experience in Sapporo with Scott as your guide. He loves what he does and we're glad it shows. Your recommendation means so much to us, and we hope to welcome you back for more exciting adventures! Snow Monkey Resorts

    Tour in Sapporo Shrine, Fish Market and Shiroi Koibito Park: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sapporo.

    How much does Tour in Sapporo Shrine, Fish Market and Shiroi Koibito Park cost?

    +

    Prices start at $155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sapporo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Tour in Sapporo Shrine, Fish Market and Shiroi Koibito Park take?

    +

    Plan for about 8.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sapporo is not rushed.

    Is Tour in Sapporo Shrine, Fish Market and Shiroi Koibito Park worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sapporo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tour in Sapporo Shrine, Fish Market and Shiroi Koibito Park?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Tour in Sapporo Shrine, Fish Market and Shiroi Koibito Park suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour in Sapporo Shrine, Fish Market and Shiroi Koibito Park?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sapporo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sapporo and add a light layer if any part of the 8.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour in Sapporo Shrine, Fish Market and Shiroi Koibito Park start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sapporo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Sapporo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Sapporo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sapporo Bar Hopping Food Tour, Wagashi traditional japanese sweets class, Mondo's most popular No.1!Private experienceThe king of buckwheat noodles making and Japanese food in Sapporo!A plan to enjoy tempura!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Sapporo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Sapporo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
