Where to collect souvenir stamps in Hokkaido 🇯🇵📍

Where to collect souvenir stamps in Hokkaido 🇯🇵📍
Japanese souvenir stamps (Eki stamps) are free to collect and can be found at train stations, temples, museums, and many of the main attractions around Japan.
Below are a few I’ve collected during my trip to Sapporo and Noboribetsu:
📍1. Sapporo Munich Christmas market in Odori Park. (Seasonal — runs from late November to December 25.
📍2. The Red Brick Building (Former Hokkaido Government Office Building)
📍3. Sapporo TV Tower. Collect all 3 stamps to make a complete image!
📍4. Jigokudani Valley (inside the gift shop)

After 4 days in Sapporo, we booked another four in

After 4 days in Sapporo, we booked another four in Noboribetsu Onsen, about one hour away by train.
❄️It’s a popular site seeing destination in middle of Jigokudanio (Hells Valley) known for volcanic activity, hot springs, and the hell demons you can spot around town.
♨️We stayed at Ryotei Hanayura and booked a room with a private onset. The public bath houses are just as beautiful (not shown in the video since it is prohibited to film inside).
Whet I loved about Noboribetsu is that’s it’s such a walkable, small town and was lovely to explore while snowing.

A peek at some of my December shenanigans in #Sapp

A peek at some of my December shenanigans in #Sapporo (Hokkaido, Japan)!
This is my second time back in Japan and this time, me and the hubs were determined to explore the Northern region.
🏨Accommodations: @sapporograndhotel
The hotel directly connects to the Sapporo Ekimae-dori Underground Walkway, which allows smooth access to the hotel— a must during cold weather!
What I enjoyed:
📍Sapporo Munich Christmas market in Odori Park
📍Beer flight at the Sapporo beer museum
🔖Souvenir stamp collecting
🍻Drinks at some really cool bars
❄️The snow!
🦀 ALL the seafood!
I recommend following the @visit.sapporo account. It was a huge life safer in helping me scope out my ideal itinerary!
Have you’ve been to Sapporo?
