SAPPORO
Sapporo (札幌) that about 1,960,000 people live is the largest city in Hokkaido. Although there are various theories, its origin of the name is "Dry Big River (乾いた大きな川)" in Ainu language. A population of the Sapporo is the 4th largest city after Yokohama, Osaka and Nagoya in japan, and the population accounts for 36 % of Hokkaido's population! So the Sapporo has been flourished as the center of the Hokkaido. The area of the Sapporo is 1,121.26 km2, and is about as big as Hong Kong, and is the 7th largest city in the Hokkaido. The Sapporo is also famous as a tourist city, and about 15 million people come. As for a climate, it is hot that temperature rises to nearly 25 degrees in a summer, but it is easy to live without moisture. I always feel a little cool. It is cold that temperature falls to nearly -10 degrees in a winter, and amount of snowfall sometimes has more than 1 m. Article is here
JR Tower Observation Deck T38
An entrance of the JR Tower Observation Deck T38 (JRタワー展望室T38) is at the 6th floor of the Sapporo Stellar Place, and a ticket is sold there. The floor like fine, and it looks like a reception desk of the top‐ranking companies in Yaesu or Marunouchi. An architectural model of the JR Tower is set on the floor, and the whole appearance can be seen. Visitors go to the top floor, the 38th floor, after getting on an elevator. Admission fee is JPY 720. There are various discounts, for example, the admission fee takes off half the price in March 8. 
An electronic ticket of ASOVIEW applies a discount. In addition, the admission is free of charge if a visiting day is your bairthday! But a certificate is required.

An observation deck at the 38th floor is like a corridora gallery, and the visitors can enjoy 360-degree view through windows. Buildings in the directions of Hokkaido University or Odori park can be viwed, or words can be found if the visitors look down through a window, so there is a new discovery. I was interested in the superb views like miniatures from the tallest building in the Hokkaido. T-cafe, T-shop, restrooms with a view, a piano and art works are at the corridora gallery. Light meals are served at the cafe.
A mini concert is held at 20 o'clock on the second and the fourth Friday of every month. Various musicians sound beautiful tones. It can be watched only for the admission fee. Valentine Concert, Mid Summer Concert, Halloween Concert and Christmas Concert are also held. By the way, here is crowded with the visitors on New Year's Eve, New Year's day and fireworks display's days.

I was impressed at the restroom with the superb view. A male can enjoy the superb view while relieving themselves at the restroom for men. A female can not enjoy the view at the restroom for women. But a multipurpose accessible restroom is provided, so it seems to allow the women to use the restroom. It was a gorgeous moment anyway.
Chairs are set along the windows, so the night views can be seen carefully. Drinks are served at the T-cafe, so the visitors can drink a toast while seeing the night views. Please have a romantic time!
