Okay, so Sapporo is not all about eating and drinking, although we’d like to think it is. There’s culture and sightseeing, as well. We had a whirlwind tour of Sapporo’s highlights with some Japanese bloggers, who took us to a shrine (of course), the Olympic Winter Sports Museum, and to lunch. If you visit Sapporo, here are some things you may want to do and see:
Sightseeing Sapporo (1 of 28)
As with other Hawaiian Airlines inaugural flights, they arrange for a day tour for the media. In this case, there were only a few of us from Hawaii on this tour, so some local bloggers took us around in taxis. First stop, Hokkaido Jingu Shrine, a Shinto shrine.
The Olympic Winter Sports Museum is home to Sapporo’s famous ski jump. If you go, make sure you take the ski lift up so you can get this view.
This blog is just highlighting all that we did and saw. If you want to see all the photos, click here to see the entire album!

Delicate Blossom: thanks for the video, I knew the ski jump slope was steep but man, it really is! I guess when you see it on TV these guys make it look so easy, plus with the white snow all over you kind of lose the perspective of how steep the slope is.
