Susukino
すすきの
Sapporo's biggest nightlife district and one of Japan's three great entertainment districts, where ramen, Genghis Khan lamb barbecue, and izakaya cluster beneath neon billboards.
Susukino lies south of Odori and is Hokkaido's largest entertainment district. Together with Tokyo's Kabukicho and Fukuoka's Nakasu, it is one of Japan's three great entertainment districts, with thousands of restaurants and bars. The Nikka whisky uncle billboard at the Susukino crossing is a symbol of Sapporo nightlife. Nearby are Ramen Yokocho, the original ramen alley, along with Genghis Khan grilled lamb, soup curry, crab dishes, and bars. Each February during the Snow Festival, the streets host an ice sculpture site. Susukino Station on the Namboku subway line is a direct stop. Note: Avoid street touts at night, and stay away from shops with unclear pricing.
