nice and huge station and connect to other lines. was also here to get our train to cts airport. sharing photo of the location of the eki stamp hidden in a corner near the stairs

Many coin lockers at the station. Tourist information center provides good service with many brochures.

Like most Japanese train stations, it's too big and doesn't have the right amount of lift access or escalators. The signage is confusing and hardly consistent. Very easy to get lost. And once your lost, goodluck. That's more time wasted. Also everyone says the trains are fast and convenient which might be true but what's the point when you it takes 15 minutes to go from one platform to another. It's exhausting. You can literally spend HOURS just walking from platform to platform. Not even on the train. Each day. A 30 min train ride can easily become 1 hour just because the walks are so distance.

One if the nicest and most beautiful train stations in all of Japan. The train system here is extremely easy to use and much less crowded than central Tokyo. There are so many delicious food options and you can also choose to walk to other parts of the city underground. It's convenient and helps keep you warm during Sapporo's cold winter months.

Plenty of coin lockers and ticket booths to top up your IC cards or purchase tickets to travel on the JR line. Good number of seats too if you're needing to have a rest

I love Japan and I think even though Hokkaido is quite a new city around 150 years old the stations are still as good as any city in Japan. The place is organized, and clean, and yes things are just overall beautiful here. I have been here a couple of times to eat, shop, and also have some Hokkaido Ice cream. This is literally one of the places you should come and visit just to see how it is. You won't disappointed. If you want to look for food just check out level six I believe and also underground as well!

Train tickets and dining brought us to JR Sapporo Stellar Place, an ultra busy, 9-level hub of a complex. TRAIN: For English language assistance, head to the Visitor Information desk. As you enter the main doors, head straight in, stay to your left and look for a sundry store on the left. The desk is oddly located inside the shop in the back left corner. They assisted us with local tickets (to Otaru) and on the shinkansen (bullet train) to Tokyo. SHOPPING: 5 levels of shop till you drop clothing selections. The Daimaru department store connects to this building as well. DINING: 2 levels of eateries and restaurants of varying cuisines and dining styles. We had a so-so lunch at Ichiniisan. OVERALL: The heartbeat of Sapporo.

Service: 100/5 they picked up not one but TWO of our group of friends items. My friends bag was left on the train on our way to Niseko, with Sapporo as the last stop. Luckily we had Sapporo at the end of our itinerary and retrieved it! I also lost one of my layers while walking around (the Patagonia nanopuff)...we all know that would've disappeared in a minute in the US BUT NOT IN JAPAN what a safe country Food: 5/5 Great choices of 駅弁 from 蟹飯,チラシ,牛丼(that self heats and cooks when you pull a string!!! Japan is living in 2060)

JR Sapporo Station is huge. Around the station, there are a lot of underground tunnels. I enjoyed the window shopping. The subway connects the suburb. I didn't have to worry about shopping and dining. I found a small museum and rest area. I could learn about Ainu culture at the museum. The station is an amazing place.

Sapporo station is the central hub in the city to catch the subway and Shinkansen. It's conveniently located near Odori park and walkable. Inside the station has many shops and stores. The underground mall leads to many shops and has a lot of foot traffic. I did not find Sapporo station to be difficult to get around. You should be cognizant of the exits so not to get confused when you exit the station.

JR Sapporo Station: A Japan Rail Pass is a wonderful thing for American tourists like Jamie W. and me because it really allowed us to traverse less traveled parts of Japan with more certainty. One caveat though is that we weren't allowed to buy specific train tickets until we arrived in Japan which meant that we needed to buy eight different pairs of tickets for various train rides through Hokkaido and Tohoku. I was worried my lack of fluency would be a deterrent, but the JR agent managed to book our tickets without incident and without a word of English. She was also patient and pleasant beyond the norm and set our minds at ease over a rather ambitious itinerary. Kudos for that experience as well as an organized transit station that offers adjacent shopping centers, a welcome Mister Donut, and even a Star Wars exhibit designed to whet Japanese appetites for the Rise of Skywalker.

If you're visiting Sapporo, chances are good that you'll make use of Sapporo Station. It's a great train station, central and easy to access, well organized and clean and even quite pretty. It's a straight shot from the New Chitose Airport. I'd definitely recommend taking the train in instead of paying for a cab. You can buy reserved seating, but this seems unnecessary, especially on the way in, as the airport is the last stop and it isn't hard to get a seat in an empty car. Sapporo is a major station, so it's got lines heading out to all kinds of places. We took little trips to Otaru and Noboribetsu during our stay, and getting there was easy, just quickish train rides out of Sapporo (well, plus a short bus ride from Noboribetsu to our hotel). Customer service was polite, and we were able to purchase our train tickets both at the machines and at various counters without issue. The only thing I'll note is that you might want to plan ahead a bit if you're getting on a smaller train. We had to wait an hour or so to get our train to Noboribetsu, as the one we'd planned on catching was sold out. The station wasn't a bad place to kill some time, though. There was a whole shopping center in there with a bunch of stores and several restaurants. We ended up dropping into the bookstore for a minute then eating parfaits at a place called White Cosy. So when in Sapporo, I'd highly recommend traveling by train when you can't get around on foot. Sapporo Station is central and easy to figure out, and you can get your shopping and eating done there too.

Large clean station that is easy to navigate in English with toto bathrooms & nice shops.

Like other major train stations in Japan, Sapporo Station is bright, clean, and offers plenty of places to eat and shop. There's sushi, izakaya, chocolate, soba, coffee, pastries, gucci, and various cosmetic shops. It's never empty, but compared to train stations in Tokyo, it's not very busy.

As a tourist to the City, you would passed by or used JR Sapporo Station facilities at least once. Here is the main station where all mode of transportation of the City uses as the beginning or end of the loop. You can catch the bus to the airport, a train to rest of Japan, You will also find JR Tower, the tallest building in Hokkaido. You can also shop and dine here as there are quite a few options available. The Station is surprisingly clean and organized! I found my boarding platform easily without too much guess work!

My first time in Sapporo for business travel and I opted to take the JR train into Sapporo station from CTS airport. A colleague highly suggested to reserve a seat for ¥560 so you don't have to stand the whole ride and on top of that it's ¥1070 for the train ticket. In my opinion it's totally worth it! Anyways, Sapporo station is awesome! Very busy but there are plenty of signs in English and people are very helpful. Inside the station there are tons of ramen shops and other food vendors, the smell is mesmerizing! They also have a mall attached to the station so it's sort of a one stop shop! Catching a taxi is super easy once you exit the east or west side of the building. I only had a 10 minute walk to the hotel but it was snowing and I wasn't about to slide all over Sapporo because I wasn't dressed to walk in the snow.

Very crowded but organized station. Easy to navigate and if you don't get it there's an great in formation center. see Rachel Kondo she speaks English. Just read the sign and know your stop but also the end point on the direction you are going and that's the platform you need to go to. Tickets are easy there is maps right above in English that helps.

If you're going to Hokkaido and staying in Sapporo, then you'll likely find yourself in Sapporo station. This particular station is very well appointed and has some good dining options to go with excellent service. This station is not as luxurious as say the Kyoto or Tokyo Stations but it does provide you with ample access through Hokkaido. Not a bad choice if when traveling to the islands in northern Japan.

This station is amazing! You could probably spend days here if you wanted to visit every single shop and restaurant (maybe even weeks). There are many clothing stores, cafes, restaurants, and so much more. If you're in Sapporo and want to go shopping, this is definitely a place you should visit.

Clean logically laid out station. Combine Google Maps for determining what stations you want to travel to/from and you can easily navigate the ticket machines. Note that there is an English button on the screen but it's off in a corner. I found it helpful to ask a guard to confirm the platform number - show them the Japanese letters on the Google Maps phone screen - works wonders and they are extremely helpful. No in-person ticket desk that I could find but didn't really need it after the first day.
