Kitakaro Sapporo Main Store is about a 5-minute walk from Sapporo Station and close to many attractions in central Sapporo, making it easy to visit them all on the same day.
The building originally housed the Hokkaido Government Library and Art Museum and was renovated and remodeled by architect Tadao Ando in 2016. The first floor has a shop where you can buy Kitakaro's popular sweets and souvenirs. There is a steady stream of visitors in the afternoon, and without a reservation, you may find it fully booked and miss out.
The most popular item is undoubtedly the dessert set. In addition to the chiffon cake and milk soft serve that come with it, you can choose one of six desserts—truly a blessing for anyone who has trouble deciding!
