    After arriving in Sapporo from New Chitose Airport, all I knew was that my hotel was next to Odori Park. I had no idea where exactly it was.
    Dragging my heavy luggage, I came out of the subway station and was immediately captivated by the red maple leaves in front of me. I dropped my luggage and started taking pictures. A Japan Post driver quickly ran over and anxiously asked, “What’s wrong with my truck?” I hurriedly explained, “There’s nothing wrong with your truck—the maple leaves are the problem!”
    He laughed as he got back in his truck and drove away. I kept taking picture after picture after picture.
    Only then did I remember my luggage and that I still had to find my hotel...!

    Sapporo TV Tower is next to Odori Park and is one of Sapporo's most iconic landmarks. You can see its tall red structure from far away, and when you get close, it really feels like, “I've arrived in Sapporo!”

    This time, I stopped by Sapporo TV Tower and admired it while taking a walk through Odori Park. The surrounding scenery was very pleasant. The tower looks different from every angle, and it's also a great place to take photos as keepsakes.

    We came to the Sapporo TV Tower at night, just in time for the illumination. The entire tower lit up against the night sky and was very eye-catching even from a distance. Together with the lights of Odori Park, it gave downtown Sapporo a more romantic atmosphere.

    Looking from Odori Park, you can see the tower blending into the surrounding streetscape. It's especially more charming at night when the lights come on than during the day. Strolling around while enjoying the night view was really relaxing.

    As soon as you walk into Odori Park, you can see the red Sapporo TV Tower standing tall against the blue sky and white clouds. It also has a brightly lit digital clock displaying the time, making it very distinctive. At this time of year, the leaves on the trees around the park have turned yellow and orange-red. With the red tower and blue sky, it looks good no matter how you photograph it.
    Watching people come and go while taking a walk felt pretty relaxing. The area is very open, and there are also plenty of places nearby to explore at a leisurely pace. It's a great place to spend an afternoon walking around, taking photos, and enjoying the laid-back pace of downtown Sapporo.
    However, the autumn wind is really quite cold. If you stay outside for too long, you'll be shivering nonstop. Be sure to wear a thick coat to stay warm so the cold doesn't become unbearable.

    Going up to the observation deck of Sapporo TV Tower, the city night view was dazzling and beautiful. The lights lit up all of Sapporo, and it was hard to leave.
    The observation deck felt a little narrow and somewhat dim. When it gets crowded, it can feel packed, but overall, it’s still a night view spot worth visiting.
