Susukino Bar Guide

Susukino is Sapporo's entertainment district and one of the largest nightlife areas in Japan. The grid of streets is packed with bars, clubs, izakayas, ramen shops, and karaoke venues that cater to every taste. From sleek cocktail bars to rowdy izakayas, Susukino has it all. The area is especially popular in winter, when visitors to the Snow Festival head to Susukino for dinner and drinks. Sapporo's famous miso ramen is widely available, and the city's beer culture means you're never far from a cold draft. Seafood from Hokkaido—crab, scallops, and more—is a highlight at many restaurants. Susukino is compact and walkable, so it's easy to bar-hop without a plan. The atmosphere is generally friendly and unpretentious, and the long Hokkaido winters make the indoor warmth and conviviality all the more appealing.
