Experience of the stay
As I was about to head out for dinner looking at the GO-KINJYO map, a staff member kindly approached me and shared their recommendations on various restaurants.
They even brought along a guidebook created by the OMO Hotel, and we worked together to plan the perfect night out, including a first stop, bar hopping for the second, and either finishing with ramen or night parfaits, helping me fully enjoy my walking food and drink tour in the Susukino area.
When I returned to the hotel, there was a pitcher at the OMO FOOD & Drink Station on the first floor, allowing me to fill it with water to take to my room, which was a surprisingly helpful service.
This OMO FOOD & Drink Station changes its offerings depending on the time of day – at night, there are snacks, and in the morning, bread for breakfast (including bread from “Shige Pan”), providing a diverse lineup that enhances the hotel stay experience. I could even enjoy Sapporo Classic draft beer, feeling that even though OMO’s grade is 3, it provided more than enough value.
I noticed that there seemed to be buses operating from the hotel to the ski resort, and I often saw people in ski wear in the morning. I was very satisfied with this hotel, which catered to various needs for a Hokkaido trip.
Experiences during the trip
When heading to the hotel, I first spotted the "Nikka Whisky" neon sign at the Susukino intersection, which really got me excited. Since I arrived at night, it made for a perfect photo opportunity to start my trip.
There are several famous ramen shops within walking distance from the hotel, and it was a relief to be able to change plans since the initial choice was too crowded to stand in line in the cold. (I definitely wanted to eat some ramen.)
Also, near the hotel, there’s a place called "Shige Pan" that only opens at night. After dinner, I stopped by to buy bread for the next day before returning to the hotel. The sign was glowing in a corner of an office building, and I nervously opened the door. The fragrant smell of freshly baked bread and the unique names of the breads were really exhilarating.
I had a salt-butter anpan called "Haitokukan", which I enjoyed at the hotel, savoring the delightful guilty pleasure. Ah, it was comforting for my tired body...
Sapporo sightseeing is easily accessible either by walking or by train, so I think it allows for flexible planning.
