Odori Park
Free·Leashed only
Sapporo's signature 1.5-km central green stretching in front of the TV Tower, with lawns, fountains and seasonal event stages. It is a popular leashed walking route for the city's dog owners year-round, including in the snow.
Why it made the list
The most central and scenic leashed walk in Sapporo, right outside the station and pleasant in every season.
Good to know before you go
Dogs must be leashed on the lawns and paths and owners must clean up; Japan's rabies vaccination rule applies to resident dogs, per standard city park practice. The park is an open public space open 24 hours.
Practical notes
