Backstage Pass to Sapporo Central Market

About this activity

Welcome to the “Heart of Hokkaido’s Gastronomy.” While the city is still fast asleep, the gates of the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market—a hub for professional chefs and expert buyers—open exclusively for you.

This tour is far more than a simple walkthrough; it is a sensory adventure into the soul of Hokkaido’s rich culinary culture. Feel the raw energy of the market as giant tuna are traded in the blink of an eye, witness the sharp, discerning gaze of experts selecting the finest produce, and take in the sweet aroma of fresh seasonal fruits.

After exploring the market, a long-awaited breakfast awaits. Tasting the “true” freshness of ingredients selected by the master’s eye that very morning is an experience you will cherish for a lifetime. Finally, wander through the outer market to find the perfect souvenir while connecting with the friendly local vendors. A “special side of Sapporo,” beloved by culinary professionals, is waiting for you.
