What's so fun, delicious, good-looking here? Let’s follow Tang Yuan Papa tour to travel around Sapporo Station Let's go If you haven't subscribed to our channel yet Don't forget to subscribe back And don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook Teach everyone before going somewhere else First of all, we need to set a starting point Today all the places to go are starting from here That's where I'm right now The current location is 'Sapporo Station South Exit of West Passage' Easier to recognize are the marks of Stellar Place and Daimaru The square will have a glass house building The place where I will go today also departs from this location It is easy for everyone to identify Let’s go The first stop is JR Sapporo Station We will also explain how to buy a JR ticket, exchange a pass, and board to JR I am currently at the ' Sapporo Station South Exit of West Passage ' Follow me to the JR station now Now, our right side is the ticket machine If you want to take a JR train, but you don't have a JR PASS Tickets can be purchased individually here After passing the ticket machine, turn left There are plenty of lockers for everyone to store your luggage Then come here and you will see "Tourist Information" This is the Tourist Information Center inside JR Station And what services can be provided here? First of all, there are a lot of tourist information brochures here You can pick it up to see what attractions in Hokkaido are good to walk around And most importantly... If you purchased a JR PASS overseas Or if you are ready to buy the Hokkaido JR FREE PASS Then everyone can exchange tickets here In this Tourist Information Center In addition to the possibility of exchanging JR PASS You can also book tickets here It depends on which high-speed train or shinkansen you want to take You can directly choose the train here and reserve for a seat Support is available in Chinese, English and Korean from time to time But not all day support You can communicate successfully in English If you buy a JR PASS before coming to Hokkaido If you don't exchange your ticket at New Chitose Airport Then remember to change the JR PASS here first After buying the tickets Then the next step is to enter the gate to the platform and board the train All the gates of JR Sapporo Station in Hokkaido are the same There are four gates, all leading to the same place And the first thing to note is... If you want to take a high-speed train or shinkansen Please check your destination and boarding platform The Japanese word for the platform is 'OO Line'" OO is the number You can look at the electronic board over there For example, if I want to go to Otaru It is to go to the platform number 4 The 4 line means platform 4 There are a total of 6 platforms and 10 lines throughout Sapporo Station From No. 2 to No. 11 Then everyone must confirm the destination, time and platform number before getting on the train Then get on the train at the appropriate platform If you take the wrong train, you will be in trouble Another important thing is... If you use the JR PASS to enter the gate Because everyone is not holding a traffic IC card You can't enter the gates of these IC cards Everyone is going to the very side of the gate Then ask the staff to confirm the JR PASS date and validity time Also tickets for high-speed trains Then you can successfully enter the gate Have a great trip to everyone After teaching everyone to take the JR train Now I am ready to teach everyone to take the subway The subway is mainly divided into Tozai lines, Namboku lines, and Toho lines As long as everyone is not far to go The subway in Sapporo City can reach most of the place in Sapporo There are also most of the suburbs of Sapporo We will now head from the south exit of Sapporo Station here to the subway station In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the gate of the subway station Tickets can be purchased at the ticket machine on the right by subway If you are holding an IC card from the transportation department For example, suica, pasmo, kitaca and so on You can tap directly into the gate And behind me is the entrance gate of the Namboku line If you want to take the Toho Line You will have to walk 370 meters more from here It's not too far Just follow the directions It is easy to find the entrance gate of Toho Line And what is the way to get to Odori / Odori Park and Susukino from Sapporo Station? In fact, you can take the subway of this Namboku line The next station is Odori Station And the following station is Susukino Station If you are going to Susukino or Odori Get the Namboku line If you don't want to get a subway If you want to walk, no problem From here, the underground access road of the subway continues to the front You can go directly to Odori Park Return to the ground upon arrival at Odori Park A little more walk will take you to Susukino It takes about 10~15 minutes to walk from Sapporo Station to Odori Park It takes about 10 minutes to walk from Odori Park to Susukino Why would I propose to walk to Odori? Because walking from Sapporo Station to the underground mall between Odori Park There will be shopping streets on both sides, so you can walk around as you go I'll show you what it's like later Here we go Follow the road all the way to my left You will see that there are two ways to go Directions to the Toho Line can be seen here If you want to go to the Toho Line platform You can't go straight anymore From here you have to turn left to get there We have passed the platform entrance of the Namboku Subway Line From here, it's called 'underground pedestrian space' It is a very wide passage connecting to the underground mall of Odori Station Sometimes there are special stalls here Selling some goods and boutiques of local culture If there is no small stall There will also be many chairs and seating spaces Give everyone a break at any time In fact, this underground passage is long to go Many people also take a break on the way before continuing to walk to Odori I taught everyone how to ride the JR train and subway Finally, it is to teach everyone to take highway buses and city buses Sapporo Station now has a bus terminal Both within Sapporo City and buses bound outside Sapporo City All are available there But there is something that needs to be explained to everyone first ESTA Mall at Sapporo Station closed on August 31, 2023 The Sapporo Station Bus Terminal is just below ESTA Due to the closure of this ESTA, the bus terminal will also be closed in September If you are coming to Hokkaido in September 2023 You can go to the bus stop and get on the bus according to the method I will teach you later But if it is after September 2023 And if you get on the highway bus at Sapporo Station Refer to this PDF on the screen Go to different bus stops to board the bus After October, I will come back to Sapporo Station to explain the location of each bus stop Let's go to the bus terminal and get on the highway bus Here we go In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the bus terminal at Sapporo Station Really is under below of ESTA and BICCAMERA All buses and highway buses are also available here As for ticket purchase Because the operating company of each bus line is different So the ways of buying a ticket are different Payment is also available on most routes when you take on the bus If everyone is really worried You can also go to the official website of each bus company first Check the reservation method Some tickets can be booked online If you cannot book online Tickets can also be pre-ordered at terminals at some convenience stores Always different for each route and every bus company It is difficult to explain them all in here You can go to the official website of the bus company for more information You see the building behind me The demolition will begin in September 2023 Although ESTA and BICCAMERA are also very good to walk around But because of the renovation of Sapporo Station It is necessary to build new large-scale commercial buildings So ESTA is coming to an end After October 2023 I will explain the new locations of the bus lines and bus stops Just on the way to the bus terminal You may also see this taxi stand at the south exit Basically, there are plenty of taxis waiting for guests If it is not a snowy days Or if Sapporo City has no large festival Basically, you can get on the bus without waiting Everyone came to Sapporo Station from New Chitose Airport If you want to the hotel with many luggage Then you can take a taxi from here It is also easy to get to the city center After introducing how to use public transportation We're back to square one again Next, I will introduce the inside of Sapporo Station What's there to do, to do, to eat There are two shopping centers in Sapporo Station The first is Stellar Place The second is Daimaru These two shopping centers are building right above Sapporo Station Enter from this south exit Once inside, turn right to Stellar Place Turn left to Daimaru And what are the characteristics of the two large shopping centers? First, let's introduce Stellar Place Stellar Place's B1F to 5F are mainly selling young clothing brands and groceries Most shops also offer tax refund services There are also a small number of shops that are not providing tax free You can refer to this list on the official website first The 6th floor of Stellar Place is a food court There are a lot of big and small restaurants out there Japanese, Western, Korean, Asian, Chinese, and Taiwanese cuisine It really makes me salivate to hear it And Nemuro Hanamaru Sushi, which we introduced earlier, is also on Stellar Place 6F If you are interested, check out our video So what does the food court on the 6th floor look like? More on that later Coming to Hokkaido without Disneyland? No problem Stellar Place has a Disney Store on 5F As for Daimaru in JR Sapporo Station I believe that the older generation of Hong Kong people is also well aware There was also one in Causeway Bay that year But it closed decades ago Daimaru, on the other hand, mainly sells high-end brands Such as PRADA, HERMES, CHANEL and so on It's all concentrated in this Daimaru And the B1F of Daimaru is a high-end supermarket There are also many shops selling food There are plenty of bento boxes and food for everyone to buy and take back to the hotel to enjoy As for Daimaru, the 8th floor is a food court If you want to sit down and enjoy lunch or dinner comfortably You can also go up to the 8F to take a look Later, I will show you what the food court on the 8th floor of Daimaru looks like Let's go now After shopping at Daimaru Because the tax refund procedure here is not carried out in each store After shopping, take the goods and receipts to the food court on the 8th floor There are counters for tax refund procedures Bring the goods and receipts here for tax refund procedures I saw these electronic billboards on each floor inside Daimaru What exactly do it for? In fact, it is an indicator board that can check the busy status of the restaurants Convenient for travelers in a hurry If you don't want to wait for a seat, and want to eat quickly You don't have to go to the door of a restaurant and see how many people there and considering another one From this board, it takes 30 minutes to queue that if you want to eat sushi It takes 60 minutes to eat Japanese kaiseki cuisine The restaurant marked 'vacant' means that there is a seat Really very convenient We finished shopping and eating here If everyone is still not satisfied At Stellar Place 6F, where we are now From the food court in the direction of MUJI From here, you can go to the JR Tower Observatory called 'T38' You can enjoy the view of Sapporo City There is a fee to enter Adult tickets cost 740 yen per person That's the end of my introduction for today Hope this film can help everyone So that everyone will not go the wrong way in vain You can directly find the transportation you want to take Find the place you need to shop There is Tang Yuan Papa to teach the way You do not have to worry to go the wrong way in vain A number of different landmarks are featured today Even if everyone goes shopping in several ways When you want to find a place to meet Directly in the middle of the south exit between Daimaru and Stellar Place, etc You don't have to be afraid that you won't be able to meet in the wrong place The introduction of this episode is really coming to an end If you like this video I hope you can support us with LIKE If you have any comments about our videos and channels You are also very welcome to leave a message to us If you want to see more travel information about Hokkaido and other parts of Japan Don't forget to subscribe back to our channel Thanks for watching, and see you in the next episode, Byebye
