We have got up the TV tower during the day, the weather was nice and sunny so we could see the city and the surroundings. The view of Odori park is nice, you can take pictures of the city, cars and people. From the tower we noticed the ferry wheel which we didn't know about earlier. It would be nice... More

This TV Tower dates from the 1960's when every Japanese city of any merit was putting up towers. No better than most, a little expensive for just the view which can be enjoyed from one of the top floor restaurants or bars at one of the nearby hotels for free. Invest the price of the tower ticket in a glass... More

The entrance fee was pretty steep and unfortunately all the commentary in the elevator was in Japanese. I went up during the Snow Festival. The view of Odori Park and Mt Moiwa was really pretty.

the tv tower isnt very high up, but given that it is located in the middle of odori park, it gives a very nice overall view of central sapporo. It had a great view of the sapporo white illumination in december and i can imagine the wonderful view it will have during the snow festival

It's another tower in another city. The excitement level can only get so high. You are able to see the lights of Odori Park from the air which is nice but otherwise, this is not the highest of towers. I would not repeat this again. I think the price should be less than half of what they charge for this.... More

It's pretty standard for the genre of attractions. Just a viewing platform with the gift shop taking up most of the viewing area. Still its nice, and the staff was nice and put the elevator commentary on in English. We went up at Night and the Ski Jump and other lights were quite impressive.

Did not go up to the top level but from the bottom, it resembles any other tv tower in Japan. It would be better at nights with the lightings on the tower.

I travelled with my husband and 10 year old daughter. The view is quite amazing and we especially enjoyed the look over the Park as everything was getting ready for the Snow Festival. Staff here were very friendly and went out of their way after my daughter left her gloves on the top floor and staff member found and brought... More

It was drizzling when I visited the TV Tower. As such, the visibility was not great. However, still managed to get a great view of the Odori Park
