BESTJR Tower Observatory overlooking the entire city of Sapporo!!! I was debating whether to go or not, but I think it was a good decision to go up. Since I visited on a weekday, I was able to look around at my leisure. There was a cafe inside the tower, so it was great to enjoy coffee and view the night view! I went up at 6 and enjoyed the night view until 7:30.👍🏻

JR Tower Observation Deck T38
JR Tower Observation Deck “T38” is the tallest building in Sapporo city. So you can see all of Hokkaido at a glance. When you arrive at JR Tower, take the private elevator from the 6th floor to the observatory on the 38th floor, the highest floor, and stand at the closest point to the sky in Sapporo to enjoy a 360-degree view of the city and the beauty of Hokkaido.
'T38', which is directly connected to JR Sapporo Station, not only has convenient transportation, but also has complex facilities such as shopping malls, restaurants, and hotels, so you can enjoy shopping and spend a leisurely time.
How to get there
To visit the JR Tower observation deck, it is best to enter the Stella Place building on the east side of JR Sapporo Station. We recommend taking the elevator from the basement or first floor of Stella Place to the 6th floor observatory lobby floor, checking in, and then taking the elevator again to the 38th floor.
Let’s enjoy a panoramic view
The JR Tower Observatory offers a completely open view of Sapporo as there are no buildings blocking the view. Sapporo was renovated during the Meiji period with reference to Kyoto, and the roads are in a checkerboard shape, so you can see a very clear view!
What are the Instagram photo spots?
What is the best Instagram photo spot at the JR Tower Observatory? It's none other than a bathroom! That place is the observation bathroom in the northeast. They say the scenery here is really pretty! You can see a really pretty view from the bathroom both during the day and at night.
