Kyoto has Shinkyogoku Shopping Street, Osaka has Shinsaibashi, and in Tokyo many people visit Ameya-Yokocho or Yanaka Ginza. Each city has its own signature shopping street, and in Hokkaido’s largest city—Sapporo—you’ll find the famous Tanukikoji Shopping Street.

Located in the heart of Sapporo, Tanukikoji stretches east to west between Odori Park and the bustling Susukino district. It’s just a 5-minute walk from the Sapporo Subway’s “Odori Station” or “Susukino Station,” and the streetcar even has a “Tanukikoji Station” that stops right in the middle of the arcade.

The entire street covers Blocks 1 through 7, all under a covered arcade—perfect for exploring without worrying about rain or snow. You can eat, drink, shop, and play all in one place. But what exactly is there to see and buy at Tanukikoji?
Here are real recommendations based on actual visits! The order follows Blocks 1 to 7.
