Our first stop will be the "Hokkaido Jingu Shrine," a little west of Central Sapporo. The sacred grounds of the shrine are surrounded by lush greenery, and as you enter through the gate, the main shrine comes into view.

After departing from the Hokkaido Jingu shrine, the bus will take you to the Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium, known as the prince of all sports. Baron Okura Kishichro commissioned the architectural design of the ski jump to Major General Olaf Helset of Norway after he heard the voice of the late Chichibu Prince. This place has hosted numerous competitions and contributed significantly to many athletes' development. In preparation for the Winter Olympics, held two years later in 1972, the ski jump was renovated in 1970 and became the venue for the 11th Sapporo Winter Olympics 90-meter ski jump. From the observation deck at an elevation of 307 meters, you can see the entire city of Sapporo, Ishikari Plains, and the approach to the runways.

After leaving the Mt. Okura Ski Jump Stadium, we will head to the Shiroi Koibito Park. Here, you will be able to witness the production line of the "Chocolate Factory," the medieval-style "Tudor Houses" of Great Britain, the Grand Meister (an enormous mechanical clock tower), and much more. This is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Sapporo. During the summer, the Rose Garden inside the park blooms ceaselessly with English and old roses, creating a sweet aroma that envelops the area. The garden has over 2200 roses of 300 varieties that bloom at once. Next to the park is the "Miyanosawa Shiroi Koibito Soccer Field," the home field of the Sapporo Consadole Soccer Team, and visitors can catch a glimpse of their practice or check out the "Consadole Sapporo Collection House." After we visit Shiroi Koibito Park, we will head to the Central Sapporo Wholesale Market.

The Sapporo Central Wholesale Market is Sapporo's primary hub for fresh food. You can purchase fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, crabs, and other seafood here. Moreover, several restaurants are available to provide you with various seafood bowls, grilled fish combos, and other culinary delights. You can use your free time to enjoy a delicious lunch here. Once you have enjoyed some tasty food and purchased some souvenirs, we will stop at the iconic Sapporo Clock Tower, a popular tourist attraction in the area.
