Why not take a trip by bicycle during your stay in Sapporo? The period from mid-April when the snow starts to melt to October with its beautiful red leaves is excellent for experiencing Hokkaido’s northern landscape with your body, both within Sapporo and around its outskirts. Sapporo does not have rainy seasons and the average temperature in mid-summer is about 22°C. On the outskirts, even the countryside roads where you can command a view of the rural scenery are well paved, perfect for touring in nature. The number of overseas visitors in search of this ideal environment is increasing every year. Here we introduce ways to thoroughly enjoy Sapporo on a bicycle, whether touring in nature or cycling in the city.

Sapporo is a city next door to nature. If you make your mind up to go out on a fine day, there are mountains that are right nearby. In spring, they shine with the yellow-green of newly growing shoots and leaves. In summer, there is the lively chirping of cicadas in the deep-green forests. In autumn, the leaves are colored red and yellow. In winter, everything falls silent, piled up with snow. In Sapporo, where the climate changes with the seasons, nature also changes vividly. The day after you have enjoyed some shopping and eating gourmet food, take a little side trip, away from the center of the city, and set out into the heart of nature. This time, we introduce mountains with spectacular views that can be enjoyed even by beginners. Make your choice of transport, such as subway, streetcar or car, depending on your level of stamina.
