Sapporo & Hakodate late April — solo (35M), any tips / anyone around?
Hey guys, I’ll be in Hokkaido from Apr 28 – May 2, solo. Asian male, 35 if that matters.
Current plan: 2 nights in Hakodate then up to Sapporo for the rest. Booked La Vista Hakodate Bay and Cross Hotel Sapporo.
Still pretty flexible and open to adjusting things.
Would love recs on:
• Food spots (soup curry, ramen, seafood, anything local that’s a must)
• Cool neighborhoods / cafés / bars to check out solo
• Scenic stuff or easy day trips (not trying to overpack the schedule)
• Anything seasonal around that time (late sakura? festivals?)
Also if anyone’s stayed at Cross Hotel or has better hotel suggestions in Sapporo, I’m all ears.
If anyone happens to be around those dates and wants to grab a meal/drink or explore a bit, feel free to DM. Always down to meet chill people! 😁
