Snowy Retail Serenity: Odori’s Upscale Boutiques and Local Markets in Sapporo’s Green Heart

Odori, Sapporo’s verdant cultural hub, glows with snowy retail serenity, where upscale boutiques and local market stalls offer luxury fashion, LeTAO cheesecakes, and handwoven Ainu textiles, just 3 minutes from Sapporo Station by Tozai Line. Centered around the iconic Odori Park, this elegant district draws locals and tourists to its polished streets, perfect for a tranquil shopping spree after admiring the Sapporo TV Tower or savoring kaisendon at a nearby seafood stall.
