Ramen, soup curry and seven covered blocks!?

About 200 shops across seven covered blocks!? 😳 That's the number that grabbed me first about Tanukikoji Shopping Street in Chuo Ward, Sapporo. The roof runs over all seven blocks, and with that many stores, detours are going to pile up fast.
This shopping street was founded in 1870, so a lot of history comes along with every block you stroll through. You can walk the whole stretch from one end to the other, or stop only at the blocks that catch your eye. Which way will you go? 🤔
Food is a big part of this street, so the walk and the meal can go hand in hand 🍜 Pick your first block, wander in, and decide where to eat once hunger kicks in!
Walking under the roof
The covered street runs for seven blocks, and with about 200 shops, your side trips stack up fast. There's a wheelchair entrance too, which matters if easy access is on your list 🚶
Pick a meal on the way
Ramen shops, soup curry shops and Japanese restaurants are all part of the lineup. You can decide where to eat while you walk between blocks, so which one will you pick? 🍛
If you go in the morning
Many shops are closed in the morning, but convenience stores are open. If you're heading out early, check in advance which shops are open 🙌
