Visiting Sapporo TV Tower is a highlight for many travelers to Hokkaido. The best time to visit the tower is during the late spring to early summer (May to June) or in the fall (September to November). During these months, Sapporo offers pleasant weather conditions that are ideal for enjoying the panoramic views from the tower's observation deck. In late spring, the city begins to warm up, and the cherry blossoms, particularly in Maruyama Park and at Moerenuma Park, provide a beautiful floral backdrop. The mild temperatures of early summer make it perfect for exploring nearby attractions without the discomfort of the summer heat.
If you're interested in winter activities and the famous Sapporo Snow Festival, consider visiting in February. However, it's important to note that this is the coldest time of year, and you should be prepared for snowy conditions. The Sapporo Snow Festival attracts visitors from all over the world and features spectacular ice and snow sculptures, with the TV Tower providing a striking contrast against the icy artistic displays. While the winter can offer a unique and memorable experience, for more comfortable sightseeing conditions and fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of spring and fall remain the most recommended times for a visit to Sapporo TV Tower.
