Our walking tour of the city took us past major landmarks. There is an old clock tower which has become the symbol of the city. http://www.conventionsapporo.jp/visitor/visitor.html

We were shown a couple of 100 Yen stores - or Japanese dollar stores since the Yen is almost equal to the Canadian penny. We went back to one of those several times. And we were taken to this huge shopping centre built in and around a former factory and appropriately called Sapporo Factory. BTW, you see English used all over the place on the names of things and on T-shirts, although not always correctly. This is part of that shopping centre.
