Sitatte Sapporo is a business center in central Sapporo. This modern looking building has restaurants, coffee shops, and event spaces on its premises. Sitatte is best known for its ‘Step Garden’ which acts as a meeting spot and a spot to sit and relax. The name Sitatte combines the words ‘sit’ and ‘atte’ (atte meaning ‘to meet’ in Japanese). The step garden is also acts as a symbol for this building. The step garden entrance is on the basement floor and extends from the Chikaho Underground Walkway. This underground walkway connects Sapporo station to Odori park and is a busy pedestrian space.
The space is made mainly from wood and is a quiet spot in the middle of the busy city. It is located on the corner of Sapporo’s main street “Sapporo Ekimae-dori” and “Kita 3-jo-dori”, which is said to be the first modern street in Sapporo. Take a seat anyway in the step garden and you can enjoy the free wifi offered here, plus you can enjoy a nice cup of coffee from the small coffee shop here, Marumi Coffee. The rest of the building from the ground floor up consists of offices and businesses. There are half a dozen restaurants here as well to get some lunch or dinner. The building has been built with modernity in mind. It is an office building that is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

The Ugg boot originated in Australia and has a long history, though it is unclear when the first commercial boots hit the shelves. The Ugg boot is reported to go as far back as the 1920’s and was worn by sheep shearers. Also clouded in mystery is where the term ‘Ugg’ comes from. Some accounts have suggested that the term grew out of a variation of “fug boots” worn by the United Kingdom Royal Air Force. Another company claims it is was an abbreviated term for ‘ugly’. Whatever the origins, these boots and slippers are warm! Exactly the prefect footwear for cold Hokkaido winters.
Since its humble beginnings the Ugg brand has moved on from just boots and slippers. At these stores, you can find so much more! They have a variety of boots that range from homely comfort to something more formal. Plus, moving from footwear, they have clothing and even a variety of furniture to adorn the house. There are three Ugg boot stores in Hokkaido and these can be found in Sapporo and in Kitahiroshima. The two large stores in Sapporo are located at Sapporo Station and on one of the main streets in near Odori park. The other Ugg location is in Kitahiroshima (between Chitose Airport and Sapporo city) at the Mitsui Outlet Park (see below).
