Sapporo: Night Ramen Crawl Through the Famous Yokocho Alley

Discover the flavors of Sapporo on a guided ramen crawl in Susukino. Enjoy tasting credits at two ramen shops, learn about the history of ramen, and explore the vibrant nightlife district.
Begin your ramen crawl in the heart of Susukino, Sapporo’s bustling nightlife district. Tucked within a single narrow alleyway, over a dozen ramen shops stand shoulder-to-shoulder, each with its own specialty and loyal following.

Follow your local guide to two carefully selected shops, chosen for their heritage, unique flavors, and atmosphere. At each stop, receive a tasting credit to enjoy signature bowls, compare flavors, and savor ramen as the locals do.

From silky miso-based broths with a touch of garlic and ginger, to butter and corn toppings that define Sapporo’s unique flair, every bowl offers both comfort and discovery. As you move between shops, your guide will lead you through Susukino’s neon-lit maze, sharing stories of how ramen grew from postwar street food into a symbol of Hokkaido pride.

Learn how miso ramen emerged in the 1950s, why the alley became a ramen icon, and how the flavors continue to evolve today. The air is filled with sizzling skewers, lively izakaya chatter, and the hum of nightlife—an atmosphere that makes each stop more than just a meal, but a moment within the city’s living rhythm.
