Summer Highlights in Sapporo Odori Park

Here are some of the iconic summer sights of Odori Park, located in the heart of Sapporo. Walking through Odori Park, a savory aroma of grilled soy sauce fills the air. This comes from the famous Toukibi Wagons (corn wagons), a true signature of Sapporo’s summer.

These wagons sell sweet, locally grown Hokkaido corn, either freshly boiled or flame-grilled with sweet soy sauce. Grabbing a piping hot cob and eating it right on a park bench is a classic summer tradition for both locals and tourists alike.

With the arrival of summer, Odori Park transforms into a canvas of vibrant flower beds with the smiling Sapporo.

The rhythmic sound of hooves echoing through the city streets belongs to the Sapporo Sightseeing Horse-drawn Carriage.

This carriage, pulled by a powerful horse named Daichan, takes visitors on a leisurely loop around Odori Park and nearby historical landmarks like the Sapporo Clock Tower.
