The only others I&#8217;ve been up\u00a0in are Calgary Tower, <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sydney\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sydney\/\" data-linkid=\"4934\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sydney<\/a> Tower, and <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Tokyo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/tokyo\/\" data-linkid=\"4937\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Tokyo<\/a> Skytree. So far, I&#8217;ve found each one to have unique flavours, but, even though it&#8217;s nowhere near the tallest tower I&#8217;ve been in, I love the intimacy of <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower and the city planning around it. Let me know down in the comments at the end of this post!<\/p>\n<h3>Getting to Sapporo TV Tower<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower is located at the Eastern-most end of Odori Park in the heart of <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a>. It&#8217;s conveniently located for public transport access with nearby bus stops and the subway running below it. Being in Odori Park, it&#8217;s also convenient to access by foot from many of the hotels in <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> that are located near the park.<\/p>\n<p>The full address is:<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 Chome Odorinishi, Chuo, <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a>, <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Hokkaido\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/hokkaido\/\" data-linkid=\"4926\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Hokkaido<\/a> 060-0042, <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Japan\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/japan\/\" data-linkid=\"4929\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Japan<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d5830.1293825608!2d141.35205493444965!3d43.0611069544788!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x5f0b299d5f87648d%3A0xe2041a78c3222031!2sSapporo+TV+Tower!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sau!4v1513946542634\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4>Getting there by car<\/h4>\n<p>There are a number of parking lots within 1 block of <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sapporo-chikagai.jp\/access\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sapporo Odori Underground Parking Lot<\/a> is perhaps the closest. It runs under Odori Park and the Odori Subway Station, also connecting to Aurora Town underground mall. It has space for 366 cars and is across the road from <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower.<\/p>\n<p>Pricing starts at 390 yen for the first hour and 200 for every 30 minutes thereafter. You can also get one hour free by spending at least 2000 yen at one of the stores in Aurora Town. If you visit between 5pm and 10pm (closing time), the maximum charge is 1000 yen, and if you visit between 8am and 10am, you can get a half hour rate of 200 yen if you are there for less than half an hour.<\/p>\n<p>The next closest car parks are to the south. There are around 4 lots in the blocks directly south of <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marui-imai.jp\/sapporo\/s_access\/s_access.html\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marui Imai and Mitsukoshi parking lots<\/a>. These lots are located on either side of the Toho Subway line, with the Marui Imai being below the Marui Imai shopping centre, and Mitsukoshi on the opposite side of the road. Here, you can expect to pay 190 yen per 30-minute block. Most of these lots are underground, but there are some above ground spaces such as the one below that is almost opposite <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower.<\/p>\n<h4>Getting there by public transport<\/h4>\n<p>The closest public transport link is via the Toho subway line, followed very closely by the Tozai and Nanboku lines. If you arrive on any of those lines you will want to get off at the Odori Station and head out of exit 27. This is a 1-minute walk from the Toho line or a 5-minute walk from the Tozai and Nanboku lines.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to come in by train, it&#8217;s a 15-minute walk from the JR <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> Station and you will want to head out the South Exit.<\/p>\n<h4>Getting there by tour<\/h4>\n<p>There are some competitively priced full day tours available through <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo Private Full Day Tour\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/sapporo-private-full-day-tour\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Viator<\/a> that include a visit to <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower (however they do exclude the entry fee).<\/p>\n<h3>Admission fees and other costs<\/h3>\n<p>Standard pricing is 720 yen for adults aged 19 and over. For high school students the price is 600 yen, then 400 yen for junior high students, 300 yen for primary school students, and 100 yen for children aged 3 to 5. You can check the current entry pricing on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tv-tower.co.jp\/en\/price\/\">website<\/a>\u00a0and note that junior high and high school students need school ID to get their prices.<\/p>\n<p>Before you arrive though, make sure you do some research as there are often discount tickets available. At the time of this article, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tv-tower.co.jp\/en\/discount\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sapporo TV tower website<\/a> has a 20% discount available, just print out the voucher or present it on your phone when you buy your tickets. There are also often discount vouchers in the map books and promotional magazines that <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Auto Europe\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/autoeurope\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">hire car<\/a> companies include with a rental, so check them out to see if it works out any better for you.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets can be purchased on arrival at the ticket counter or pre-purchased for a designated date through <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo TV Tower Tickets - Klook\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/sapporo-tv-tower-tickets-klook\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Klook<\/a>. If you opt to pre-purchase via <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Klook Home Page\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/klook\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Klook<\/a>, the pricing is the same as standard full price tickets, however, <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Klook Home Page\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/klook\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Klook<\/a> guests get to jump the elevator queue.<\/p>\n<p>If you book with <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Klook Home Page\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/klook\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Klook<\/a> you will receive a voucher that you redeem at the ticket desk on level 3 of <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower. Some things to note though is that when booking with <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Klook Home Page\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/klook\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Klook<\/a> your ticket is non-refundable and the date cannot be changed. So you are sacrificing flexibility as well as a possible discount. However, you are gaining time, particularly if it turns out to be busy when you visit because you get to go straight up the lift on the next one that is available.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"thirstylink button\" title=\"Sapporo TV Tower Tickets - Klook\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/sapporo-tv-tower-tickets-klook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Buy tickets<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Opening hours<\/h3>\n<p>Normal opening hours are from 9:00 am to 22:00 pm every day of the year except for New Years Day, special events and maintenance.

For sure. It\u2019s easy to get to and has great views out over the city of <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a>. It&#8217;s also cheap, and extra discounts are easy to come by so you can save yourself some money too. The caveat though, is that there is not much space in the observation deck itself, so if it\u2019s busy you might find you have to wait a little while before you can go up. Just be sure to allow yourself some extra time in case of a wait and you\u2019ll be fine, or alternatively, book a <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo TV Tower Tickets - Klook\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/goto\/sapporo-tv-tower-tickets-klook\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">fixed-date queue jump ticket with Klook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4969\" style=\"width: 1190px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/travel\/visiting-sapporo-tv-tower-night-august\/attachment\/sapporo-tv-tower-28\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4969\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4969\" src=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sapporo-TV-Tower-28.jpg\" alt=\"Sapporo city skyline\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sapporo-TV-Tower-28.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sapporo-TV-Tower-28-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sapporo-TV-Tower-28-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sapporo-TV-Tower-28-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sapporo-TV-Tower-28-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sapporo-TV-Tower-28-705x470.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> city skyline South of the TV Tower<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Hotels near Sapporo TV Tower<\/h3>\n<p>Being located right in the heart of <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a>, there are quite literally stacks of hotels within an easy walking distance from <a class=\"thirstylink\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sapporo\" href=\"https:\/\/stillaslife.com\/tag\/sapporo\/\" data-linkid=\"4950\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Sapporo<\/a> TV Tower.
