Sapporo's Shopping Center- Apia

Touring Tokyo and a Journey through Japan-- these are two books I have written about my travels in Japan. Check these out!!!

When you exit the Sapporo train station and turn right, you will observe a glass like dome that mirrors that of a giant igloo. This is a giant underground shopping center called Apia. The shopping center is located on the south side of the JR Sapporo train station. When you enter into this area, you can find a myriad of stores and shops:

(1) Fast food restaurants

(2) Cafes

(3) Convenience stores

(4) Pharmacies

(5) Fashion boutiques

(6) Souvenir Stores

This area is a shopping paradise for anyone who wants to have a taste of Sapporo. Though the center consists of one floor, the area is divided into the Apia Center and the Apia West area.
