Sapporo’s Classic Sightseeing Spot in Spring Style! 🌼
Shiroi Koibito Park is the theme park for Sapporo’s famous "Shiroi Koibito" cookies.

After snapping some standout shots in the picture-perfect gardens, take a tour of the "Shiroi Koibito" cookie factory, and even try making your own sweets by hand!

Sapporo in May painted in the pastel purple of lilac blooms! 💜
As these breathtaking blossoms reach their peak, the annual spring celebration, the "Sapporo Lilac Festival," returns as ever. Just one year after the event kicked off in 1959, lilacs were named the official "Tree of Sapporo."

💜 Odori Park (May 20–31)
About 400 lilac trees burst into bloom throughout this main venue. Enjoy Hokkaido specialties with some local wine in the refreshing air of the park. ☺️

💜 Kawashimo Park (May 30, 31)
Guided tours and live music performances are held here. Less crowded than Odori Park, it’s the perfect spot for a more relaxed stroll among the flowers.
