Just when the cherry blossom started, the weather
changed and it's pouring down。So, what to so?
Don't worry, there are plenty of things to do indoors and I will show you a
couple of them in this post.
The obvious thing to do is visiting museums,
and there are some great ones around town!
My favorite museum/factory is the Chocolate
Factory. I wrote about it last month (you can read the blog here).
A very popular spot to go to is the Beer
Museum. It is rather small, but I have never seen a cuter way to explain how
beer is made! And you can have a cheap and delicious beer tasting at the end. Definitely
worth it! (More information here)
Another museum dedicated to alcohol is the
Sake museum, where you can even taste sake ice cream! And what’s great too is
that it’s for free!
For free is also the Former Court of Appeals, that has been turned into a little museum with a history exhibition room. If you want to learn more about Hokkaido’s history, the University Museum or the Historical Museum of Hokkaido are great places to explore.

At the Art Park (which is a great place,
though it’s outdoors) there is a small museum with changing exhibitions. At the
moment, there is a great one about Attack on Titan! (You can read more about it here.)
Another obvious thing to do, is to enjoy a
nice cup of coffee in one of Sapporo’s great cafes! The Brown Book Café is one
of my favorites!
It’s such a cozy place. You can just read
one of the books there or bring your own. Another really cozy place is the
Hammock Café just close by. Be careful though, you might just fall asleep
there! High comfort level!
Another great café is DxM, that used to be
a factory, but now serves delicious coffee in a nice atmosphere. It’s just
behind the Sapporo Factory, so you might want to check out this nice shopping
mall as well.
Shopping is in general a good thing to do
to kill your time and, other than the Factory, Donki (Don Quijote) is a great place to
explore (even if you’re not buying anything).
If you want some more action, then Round1
is just the right place for you! It has Bowling, Billiards, Karaoke, and the “Spo-Cha”, standing for Sport Challenge. It offers about 40 types of amusement, including
Mini-Bikes, a batting station, bubble soccer and a kids’ corner, that’s fun for
adults, too!
Or you could always just relax in our cozy
living room, chat with fellow travelers and learn how to make Origami. The
staff can provide you with paper and instructions ;)
So, don't be afraid of rainy days - there is heaps to do!
