The Sapporo Smile Bus will operate for a limited time this summer to explore tourist spots in central and suburbs of Sapporo.
This unlimited day tour bus departs from the downtown area (Chuo Bus Sapporo terminal, JR Sapporo Station North Exit), and runs on a route through Moerenuma Park, Sapporo Satoland Farm Park, and the Sapporo Beer Museum (Sapporo Beer Garden) before returning to central Sapporo, allowing you to get on and off freely at each stop.
In addition, you can receive special services when you present your ticket at tourist sites in Sapporo.
This year, you can also receive Chuo Bus benefits such as free use of local buses and great deals on regular sightseeing buses.
English-speaking staff and free Wi-Fi are available on board, so visitors can use this bus without worries.
Special perks also come with buying a ticket for the Smile Bus, so do take advantage of the Smile Bus for summer sightseeing in Sapporo!
