Your Transportation/Subway


Sapporo has three subway lines running from early morning to late into the evening. Serving a total of 46 stations throughout Sapporo, they link the main business, commercial, and entertainment areas to all parts of the city, including Hokkaido University. The university can be easily accessed from the Kita 12, Kita 18 and Kita 24 stations. Various one-day or pre-paid passes covering all these services are available, making travel within Sapporo even cheaper and more convenient.

Using the subway is both safe and simple. First, purchase your ticket and then put it in the electronic ticket gate. As you walk through the ticket gate, be sure to take your ticket as it comes out on the other side. To exit a station, put your ticket through the ticket gate. If you purchased a multi-use ticket (such as a day ticket), remember to take it back at the other side of the ticket gate. If you purchased a single-use ticket, after putting your ticket through merely walk through the gates and head towards your destination. If you have any problems, there are always friendly station attendants to assist you.
