Sapporo TV Tower: A World Above – Exploring Panoramic Views from the Third Floor

Sapporo, Japan, is a city that captivates the heart with its unique blend of modernity and natural beauty. Amidst the bustling streets and snow-capped mountains, the Sapporo TV Tower stands tall and mystical. While the tower itself is a marvel of architectural design, it is the panoramic views from the third floor that truly steal the show, offering a glimpse into a world both serene and exhilarating.

As you step into the elevator that whisks you up to the 295-foot (90-meter) Tembo Deck in 60 second, anticipation courses through your veins. The ascent is swift, but it feels like an eternal moment as you inch closer to the vantage point where the real magic awaits. When the doors open, you find yourself on the observation deck, a place where you’re almost at eye level with the surrounding buildings, yet high enough to experience a sense of elevation that only a tower like this can provide.

The first thing that will strike you is the incredible expanse of glass that wraps around the third floor, allowing for an uninterrupted 360-degree view of Sapporo and its picturesque surroundings. The glass panels are remarkably clear, almost invisible, and it feels as though you’re floating in the sky. As you approach the edge and look down, the cityscape unfolds beneath you like a living tapestry.

To the east, the towering mountains of Hokkaido stretch out, their peaks crowned with snow even in the warmer months. The view is especially breathtaking during sunset when the setting sun bathes the mountains in hues of orange and pink, creating a postcard-worthy scene. It’s a reminder of the raw, unbridled beauty of nature that coexists harmoniously with urban life.

Turning to the west, the heart of Sapporo unfolds before your eyes. The city’s grid-like layout is evident, with its neatly organized streets and avenues. The skyline, a fusion of traditional Japanese architecture and modern skyscrapers, offers a unique contrast. In the distance, the shimmering waters of the Sea of Japan add a touch of serenity to the bustling cityscape.

One of the most enchanting aspects of the view from the Sapporo TV Tower is the changing seasons. Sapporo is known for its distinct seasons, and each one brings a different perspective to the panorama. In spring, cherry blossoms adorn the parks and riverbanks, turning the city into a sea of pink. In summer, lush greenery envelops the landscape, creating a calming oasis in the urban jungle. Autumn’s arrival paints the city in vibrant shades of red and gold, while winter blankets everything in a soft, pristine layer of snow.

While the daytime views are awe-inspiring, it’s during the night that the third floor of the Sapporo TV Tower truly comes alive. The cityscape transforms into a mesmerizing sea of lights, resembling a constellation of stars fallen to Earth. The soft glow of streetlights, neon signs, and the bustling life below give Sapporo a dreamlike quality that’s impossible to resist.

As you take in the panoramic views, you can’t help but feel a profound sense of connection to this beautiful city and its people. Sapporo’s charm lies not just in its visual splendor but also in the stories it holds within its bustling streets and quiet parks. From this lofty perch, you become a part of Sapporo’s narrative, a silent observer of its ever-changing seasons and the daily rhythm of life.

Fun fact: if you visit during a festival like Yosakpi Soran Festival, White Illumination or the Sapporo Snow Festival, you can enjoy the magic of it from the deck. 

It’s a place where you can lose yourself in the beauty of Sapporo, a world above the ordinary, where every glance is a reminder of the extraordinary city below.
