As you can see from my pictures below, the tower is beautiful at night once it is lit. Together with the snow, any and all pictures taken will be picturesque.

Arrived on January 7, 2024, and experienced the exhilaration of heavy snowfall while walking from our hotel. Upon arrival, instead of heading up to the observation deck of the tower, we opted to relish the outdoor scenery. The falling snow created a picturesque scene, adorning bare trees with a dramatic layer of snow. This location becomes exceptionally beautiful during the peak of winter. It's crucial to stay informed about heavy snowfall in different parts of Japan. With our 21-day JR pass, we had the flexibility to adjust our itinerary based on real-time observations and updates from the Japanese government. Fortuitously, we timed our visit to Hokkaido perfectly during its peak winter season.

The Sapporo TV Tower offers a breathtaking bird's-eye view of the city, providing a clear snapshot of its beauty. Make sure not to miss this attraction. Convenient parking spaces are available around the tower, including options directly linked to the underground train walkway.

Sapporo TV Tower is a famous attraction located in the east side of Odori Park. It looks like a smaller version of Tokyo Tower and is very eye-catching. The observation deck reception is located on the 3rd floor, where you can also find their souvenir shop. Although the observation deck is not large, the view is beautiful, especially at night. I highly recommend visiting the tower at night to enjoy the stunning view of the city lights.

We visited the tower at sunset in order to see the view both in daylight and at night. It costs JPY1000 to go up 90.38m to the observation deck, where we can get 360 degrees view all around Sapporo. Take the lift to 3F, buy ticket, and take another lift up to the top. The sun sets behind the mountain range to the west. The observation deck also sells many souvenirs at a reasonable price, comparable to those in other shops. OK to visit if you have time to kill or if getting a high vantage point of view is a priority, otherwise you don't lose much (in fact save enough for a ramen) not going up the tower.
