    地下鉄すすきの駅、大通駅から地下道で行けて、アーケードがあるので雨でも濡れずにいける商店街です。

    長い商店街でドンキホーテや100円ショップ、お土産屋さんなどお土産を買うのにも便利です。ラーメン屋さん、居酒屋、カフェなど様々な飲食店もあります。

    通り沿いにお手頃なホテルも多く便利です。

    写真1枚目はすすきののランドマークのニッカウヰスキーの看板。2枚目は居酒屋に行ったら注文したいホッケ(焼魚)、3〜5枚目は狸小路7丁目にあるランプライトブックスホテル札幌。1階は24時間営業しているカフェになっていて、コーヒーと本を楽しめます。カフェを利用する人は本を自由に無料で読めます。電源のある席もあって充電もできて便利でした。
