About
Susukino is the entertainment and nightlife district of Sapporo, on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. It lies in Chuo Ward, and its address is Susukino, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 064-0804. The area is the largest of its kind in the Hokkaido Region, and it is often called the Times Square of Sapporo for its busy streets lit by neon signs.
What the district offers
Susukino is built around the evening. Its streets hold a large number of restaurants and bars, so visitors can move from one place to the next without going far. The mix of food and drink, combined with the glow of the signs, gives the district its distinct character after dark.
Planning a visit
- Best for: an evening out, a night walk through the neon streets, and a meal or drinks among the local crowds.
- Getting there: Susukino sits in the centre of Sapporo, so it is well placed for visitors staying in the city.
- Contact: +81-11-521-6966.
Because Susukino is a lively district rather than a single site, it suits those who enjoy wandering. Give yourself time to explore its side streets, and to settle in somewhere for a meal once the lights come on.
