The Sapporo airport is like a city! And it is bustling.There are hundreds and hundreds of places to eat. Whoever has the concession on the plastic food samples that are displayed outside of every restaurant made a killing here.

You can watch chocolate being manufactured in Royce Chocolate World, ride on a stuffed Steiff animal in Steiff Nature World, stock up on all the Hello Kitty or Pokemon items you could possibly want, play crazy Japanese pinball machines in the amusement area, go to a spa, take your kids to an indoor playground, shop in a grocery store, go to a wine tasting, on and on and on.

A personal welcome! How did they know I was coming?







Tough day for the stuffed animals...



Everything is very colorful
