Had lunch at the alley. Went to the restaurant where Tony Bourdain ate a bowl of crab & scallop raamen. Saw his signature and picture on the wall. There are 2 alleys. Go to the original old alley. It has a more quaint ambiance than the newer alley. More

The night life district of Sapporo. Every kind of restaurant, bar and watering hole you can think of. Open late every night, We always end our evening in Susukino. By day a shoppers mecca, and by night a party girl and boys dream! Very safe and easy to get around in. More

At noon you may cross Susukino and do not recognize it. But if you came there in the night you will be met by thousand bright lights and many young Japanese walking along the streets. There are hundred restaurants and bars, and, of course, Pachinko!. No doubt Susukino is the brightest place in Hokkaido. More

We walked from Saporro JR station and it took us about 30 mins to get to this entertainment district. Sights such as the Clock tower, TV tower and Old Government building were all along the way. We enjoyed ourselves squeezing into a little ramen shop at Ramen St, slurping up our ramen amongst other tourists and even locals. It was... More

Maybe not quite a family area, but very cool for the number of bars, restaurants, and food shops serving all types of food. The narrow alleyways (ramen alley for example) filled with food shops seating only a dozen or so people were also very quaint and friendly. More

Susukino is one large amusement district in central Sapporo which is home to cafes, restaurants, sushi bars and ramen alley, bowling, karaoke-box, cinemas, bars; next to those same places often inside the same building are "morals (Fuzoku)" services including girly bars, host clubs and caba-cla (clubs with hostesses), pink-salons (you chat while the hostess take care), fashion-health (intimate care offered...

After dark, Susukino comes alive as its many restaurants and bars open up. Crowds fill the streets heading to the izakayas, clubs and, ahem, girly bars. But don't worry, this is Japan, whatever happens you'll be fine. I just love rambling down the streets and lanes and seeing what cool restaurants we discover. Then, go into whichever drinking den catches... More
