Situated for an memorable view of Sapporo's cityscape is the Observation Deck at JR Tower, offering visitors 12 hours daily to choose their preferred time under clear morning skies or beautiful evening hues. Start your journey from the tower’s 6F floor and ascend swiftly in one of two elevators directly to the 38th-floor observatory within a minute.

Once on deck, marvel at Ishikari Bay New Port's vast landscape stretching northward while enjoying views of the Ishikari River along with Yubaridake and Ashibetsudake mountains from an eastern perspective (on clear days). To the south lies Sapporo Dome stadium alongside central Sapporo’s grid-like appearance. The west reveals Hokkaido University and Mt. Teine, which is notably snow-capped in winter — a nod to its historical significance as Asia's first Winter Olympic Games host in 1972.

The deck’s stylish artwork creates an inviting atmosphere for visitors. Unique features include full-sized windows in men’s restrooms and strategically covered ones in women’s facilities, adding a quirky charm to your visit. Conclude this experience by relaxing at T’Cafe on the south corridor with tea/coffee or red wine/cocktails.
