Susukino is one of the most famous entertainment districts in Sapporo.
Along with Kabukicho in Shinjuku and Nakasu in Fukuoka, Susukino is called one of the "three central entertainment districts in Japan.

It is a spot where stores of all kinds, including restaurants, entertainment facilities, and commercial facilities, gather.
Susukino is known for its safety and is considered a relatively safe place for women to drink alone.
*However, there are a few cases of tourists being charged unreasonable fees, so be sure to do your homework before entering a bar.

Susukino is famous as a nightlife district, but it is also a gourmet spot regardless of daytime or nighttime hours. There are many favorite restaurants serving seafood such as sea urchin and salmon roe, which are typical Hokkaido delicacies and miso ramen and Jingisukan　barbecue. Be sure to stop by the "Genso Sapporo Ramen Yokocho-street" and the "Shin Ramen Yokocho-street" tourist attractions that have made Sapporo Ramen a household name.

    Susukino, Sapporo’s liveliest district, showed me a completely different side of the city from the daytime. Neon lights illuminated the streets, which were lined with restaurants, shops, and local snacks. The vibrant atmosphere drew plenty of visitors for shopping and dining, filling the night with energy.

    I strolled around while sampling Hokkaido specialties like ramen, jingisukan grilled lamb, and fresh seafood. Every dish was memorable. The beautiful signs and bustling streets also made for great photos and wonderful memories.

    The later it gets, the livelier it becomes—more vibrant than I expected. Although it was crowded, everything felt pretty orderly and not chaotic. Restaurants, izakayas, and bars stay open late into the night, so it’s super convenient if you want a late-night bite or a drink. You definitely don’t have to worry about finding a place. It had more energy than I imagined.

    Susukino is super lively at night! After enjoying some Japanese BBQ and eel rice, I went shopping at Tanukikoji and even rode the Ferris wheel.
