Ramen at six, crab at night, then Jozankei
札幌2日間：朝6時のラーメン、夜はカニ、翌日は定山渓
Sapporo the way people there eat it: a bowl of ramen when the first shop opens at six, the university museum when it opens at ten, a clear-soup ramen for lunch, madeleines to carry, and crab in the evening. The next…

The line

Noodles
A morning-ramen shop with a queue for the six o'clock opening. The clear soup blends chicken and pork with dried sardine and bonito; the basic su-ra, just soup, noodles and leek, is ¥500 and served until nine.
Plan B Closed on Thursdays: go straight on to the next stop.
metro ≈25 min · Namboku line south, then a walk
北海道大学総合博物館
The university began as Sapporo Agricultural College in 1876. Hanako's advice from Hitoshi Okamoto: see the old Hokkaido Government Office first, come in by the south gate, pass Clark's bust, and on to the museum. Entry is free.
Plan B Closed on Mondays: go straight on to the next stop. On a Monday holiday it opens and shuts the day after.
taxi ≈12 min
Noodles
The shop that started Sapporo's taste for clear soup: free-range chicken, water and good soy sauce, in a room as quiet as a kappo counter. Jidori shoyu ramen ¥1,200, with a seasoned egg ¥1,350.
metro ≈25 min · Tozai line to Odori, then a walk north
Sweets
Rokkatei's main Sapporo shop. Hanako's gift: Daiheigen, a madeleine rich with butter, sold at every Rokkatei shop.
walk ≈21 min · 1.2 km
Sushi & fish
Crab on the twelfth floor, with the city lit below. The all-you-can-eat course, hairy crab and snow crab with crab nigiri and prawn tempura, is from ¥9,500 for ninety minutes, for two or more, booked ahead.
Plan B Closed over the New Year: on those nights book it for another evening of the trip.
bus ≈80 min · bus from Sapporo to Jozankei
Coffee
Opened in October 2025 beside an inn made from a sixty-year-old house by the architect Yoshiya Tanoue. Hand-drip coffee and seasonal sweets; the autumn Mont Blanc and a coffee are ¥1,000 each.
walk ≈4 min · 0.2 km
Sweets
The apple pie is the reason: apples from Nakai Orchard in Yoichi, about twenty kinds cooked lightly in their skins, five blended in each pie. The glacé fruit teas are ¥450.
Plan B Closed on Tuesdays: go straight on to the next stop. It also shuts on irregular days.
walk ≈5 min · 0.3 km
Stay
Stay at Exclamation Hotel on the fourth floor of Kyujitsu Building: guests get the Kyujitsu bath, the lounges here and at the group's other houses, and free drinks. The cod-roe set meal, ¥1,980, is served to non-guests too.

The day, in words
Sapporo the way people there eat it: a bowl of ramen when the first shop opens at six, the university museum when it opens at ten, a clear-soup ramen for lunch, madeleines to carry, and crab in the evening. The next day, the bus into the hills to Jozankei for a café, an apple pie and a night in a hot-spring building.
We have no source for a hotel in the city, so the first night is yours to choose. The morning ramen shop closes on Thursdays and the museum on Mondays; the bus minutes to Jozankei are our estimate, so check the timetable.
