The Sapporo Autumn Fest takes place from around mid-September to late September on the iconic Odori street park in downtown Sapporo. There are along the way different venues, eight of them to be exact, where you can enjoy different things that are related to the harvest season. Here are the main venues along the Odori Park!

In the Odori 1-Chome Site, you can enjoy a German-style Oktober fest. They serve food, and of course, many kinds of beer. Some tasting sets are available.

The Welcome Park on the Odori 4-Chome Site is the place where you can gather all kinds of information about the Sapporo Autumn Festival.

There are also plenty of stalls selling seasonal delicious Hokkaido products.

The name is quite descriptive: it's a place where you can have loads of different kinds of Hokkaido ramen... and you're welcome to do it until you collapse! This is at the Odori-5-Chome Site.

The Odori 6-Chome Site is all about autumn foods. A popular item you can have there is a special Hokkaido pizza cooked on firewood.

You've guessed it, this 7-Chome Site is where you should have all kinds of tasty Hokkaido-produced alcohols. The wine is apparently surprisingly good. There's been a real explosion of it on the Japanese wine scene. Of course, you should also try the sake!

This 8-Chome Site is really nice because you can find all kinds of local products, all made in Hokkaido. Make sure to try the ice cream!

The Odori 10-Chome Site is heaven for meat lovers. You can find grilled pork, chicken, beef, and most importantly lamb! Lamb is a meat that is very popular in Hokkaido, contrary to the rest of Japan. But the meat choices don't end there, you'll find stalls offering all kinds of Hokkaido game meat.

Finally, at THE Autumn site in Odori 11-Chome, you can have special one-time-only foods made by local chefs with fresh fall ingredients. Highly recommended!
