Walk the length of Odori Park
Central Sapporo, Japan
Odori Park stretches across central Sapporo in a sequence of lawns, flower beds, fountains and tree-lined spaces. Originally created as a firebreak, it now gives the city a generous outdoor centre and a stage for major seasonal events. Walk its length to see how the atmosphere changes between blocks, stopping wherever the planting or activity catches your attention. Outside festival periods, it is an uncomplicated place to pause between museums, shopping and meals.
