Fodor's Expert Review Sapporo Factory

If you're in Hokkaido to ski, snowboard, hike, climb, or bike then the Sapporo Factory mall is the best place to stock up on any missing gear. Within the mall you'll find specialist stores for Arc'teryx, Descente, Mont-bell, Columbia, Mammut, Rossignol, and The North Face. The food court has a wide range of vendors, and there's a cinema complex with IMAX on the second floor. Sapporo Factory is a 15-minute walk southeast from Sapporo Station.
