| Susukino - |
| Just south of of Tanukikoji and marked on the corner by the Robinson's
Department Store and the massive Nikka Whiskey sign is the Susukino
entertainment district. This area stretches for about six blocks
north to south and east to west. There are almost 5000 restaurants,
bars, cafes, night clubs and hostess bars in this area. It is one
of the most famous entertainment areas in Japan and the largest of
its kind north of Tokyo. The bars and clubs can range from the cheap
to the extremely expensive. This area is crowded most days until
the morning hours but particularly so on Friday and Saturday nights.
If you wish to find a restaurant on these days try to book ahead
or be prepared to wait. If you’re out for a few drinks then
consider using one of the “Nomihodai” or all you can
drink plans. In Hokkaido these plans are offered at most restaurants
and often bars too. For the price of two or three drinks you can
consume all you like for a set period of time. Times are generally
offered for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. Prices vary from about ¥1000
to ¥3500+ depending on the course chosen and the bar. Many bars
and restaurants in this area will be open until very late in the
morning or sometimes even 24 hours. Some restaurants may not open
their doors until about midnight. Many establishments are closed
on Sundays. Top |

Suzuran Hillside Park - |
| The park has many activities including a fishing pond. The pond
is very well stocked with fish and even the worst fisherman should
be able to get a catch or two here. There are also bicycles for rent
and walking treks. There is a small river and waterfalls located
within the park to be enjoyed and a lovely restaurant in the park
also. In the winter it is possible to rent skis for some cross country
fun. This park can be quite crowded on weekends so if you looking
for some quiet time then a week day visit is recommended. Top |
