Private Full-Day Sapporo City & Nijo Market Luxury Tour

A bespoke, chauffeured private day tour from Muroran port straight into the heart of Sapporo — visiting Odori Park, the iconic Clock Tower, and the legendary Nijo seafood market. The ultimate Hokkaido bucket-list day.

What to expect

Your private guide collects you dockside at Muroran and whisks you the 90 minutes to Sapporo in a luxury vehicle. Stroll the iconic Odori Park boulevard, photograph the 1878 Clock Tower, and take your time at Nijo Market selecting the freshest uni, crab, and salmon roe — often sampled on the spot. The guide handles all logistics, ensuring you return to port well before all-aboard.
