What does one mean while saying that he/she wishes to live in a place with a good quality of life? Most of you might say that it is a subjective question. Each individual has his/her own tastes and preferences, however, there are certain things that remain common. The basic quality of life that everyone asks for is a clean and peaceful environment around oneself. A place where necessities are not difficult to obtain and where healthcare and education is accessible and affordable. While some of you might say that all of this is too basic to ask for; but the sad part is most parts of the world lack this basic quality of life. 

If we talk about Asia, Japan is one of the few countries that offers a good quality of life to its people. It is a preferred tourist destination, given the rich cultural and traditional heritage it possesses coupled with all the modern-day amenities. Therefore, it is the perfect place to live, travel and have fun! Now given that Japan is not a small country, one might feel confused as to what to explore and what to leave. This article primarily talks about Sapporo, the fifth largest Japanese city. 

What to do in Sapporo?

1. The Sapporo TV Tower: Imagine having the complete view of the city on the first day of your visit. You would certainly wonder what better it can get from here! That’s what the Sapporo TV Tower does for you. This 147 meter high tower is extremely popular and is one of the most iconic places to visit in Sapporo. In fact, just like the Eiffel Tower, this iconic building is also illuminated at night and looks extremely beautiful. 
2. The Odori Park: Located in the heart of the city, this lavish green park spreads across an area of 1.5 kms. It is divided into 5 segments and is extremely well-built and maintained. For most people, it is their getaway from the hustle and bustle of modern-day life. 
3. The Snow Festival: The snow festival of Sapporo is famous worldwide. It is organized in the Odori Park itself. As the name suggests, it is a snow-studded fest with several ice sculptures and other figures. However, this festival only lasts for a couple of weeks given the melting nature of ice. However, it is the best time to come and visit here because the entire local population is involved in it. Several people set up small stalls around the festival area. These shops and stalls are reflective of not only Sapporian culture, but also Japanese culture. 
4. The Sapporo Beer Museum: Even if you are someone who does not drink, you still must visit this place for its historical significance. It was the first commercial brewery that was setup in the Japanese premises, and therefore, it has great historical significance. 

All in all, it’s a great learning and fun experience to travel to Japan and the city of Sapporo.
