Among the observation towers that proliferate in Japan’s major cities, Sapporo TV Tower is one of the most diminutive at just 147.2m (483ft) in height.
Constructed in 1957, the tower is also one of the more vintage and it certainly feels like it. The main observation deck at 90m is rather small, but does afford excellent views of Odori Park and the mountains that surround Sapporo.
Admission is ¥720. You can get a discount with a combined ticket for the nearby Sapporo Clock Tower. The combined ticket costs ¥800 (a saving of ¥120 if you buy separately) and can be purchased at either the clock tower or the Sapporo TV Tower.
